@Nicole – alrighty then *smile* Yes, I am a boater. I love being on the water, and when the Lion and I get stressed we hop and the boat and go anchor off somewhere. Fortunately, the boat is only 3 minutes away.

@Urban Panther Oh gods no! Never a boat babe. They’re seldom “real” boaters anyway. ;) No, I use the term boater with the utmost respect and, dare I say, pride.

@Nicole – okay a boater, yes, but not a boat babe. Please tell me I don’t look like a boat babe! They are full of plastic! :)

@Urban Panther Boating is THE best thing in the world, and your Lion’s on the right track. Of course he has to lose a bit of dignity to really be good, and just pee over the side. He’s captain after all. It’s like being King! Mark the territory. ;)

Oddly enough, when I discovered your blog the other day, my first thought at seeing your picture was that you look like a boater. You’re half way there!

LOL OMG, the Lion wants us to retire to a boat. Right now, my biggest trip with him was in our 25′ cruiser from Ottawa to Montreal and back. I was good except for one rough excusion just outside of the Old Port at Montreal when he decided he HAD TO PEE and left me at the helm, having never navigated a boat in my life before. And now you tell me this story?! Ya, the Lion would be sipping on espresso or drinking wine; I would be curled up in the fetal position. *smile*

@DeafMom I don’t really recommend heart stopping (I’ve had enough of that on a boat to last a lifetime already), so running out of gas is just adventerous enough to be made into a bit of spontaneous fun. Hopefully you were able to make the most of it? :)

Ah, my boating adventure story consists of running out of gas eight times one summer on a lake. Nothing as heart stopping as your parents wondering if they’d be rescued!

@”Danny” I love that they named the boat after me too. ;) Lot easier than the name of their first boat (Chacaltaya) and far less boring than the new boat (Summer Dream). Actually, I could be wrong on the Summer Dream thing, but it’s something equally as boring and unimaginative. ;)

Thought of you because I just put on my Camelot LP. (Original Broadway cast is the only way to go). C’est moi! C’est moi! ‘Tis I!

I need to see the Bucket List, too; so many references to it. Someone I care deeply about and I tried to make out own up but it’s not as easy it seems as if we were older – maybe just need to see the movie.

I love they named the boat after you. And I love that photo!

I have a lost in the giant lake story – we were towed back and given refunds as they were near closing and hadn’t given us enough gas for the round-trip on the boat. My favorite part was when we stopped someone with us from diving overboard (she’d been on swim-team and maybe was a lifeguard once). We knew we were so far out there she would’ve had hypothermia or something – we just all stuck together and made it back – not so much in the style your folks probably did. I miss those days – vacations will come to me soon. Thank you for this; well written!

@Wendi I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it’s on my list. The previews always make me think of M&D though. I bet they’d love it. :)
