I'm a marina and boatyard manager, so I see this a lot: A guy buys a boat, knowing nothing about anything, and takes his family along for a ride. Crashing into the dock, can't tie a knot, etc etc.
Not only is he risking damage to his investment, but he's risking his families' life. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people literally avert death by the skin of their teeth... and be completely obvlious to it.
Wouldn't it be better to take some classes, get used to boating on a friend's boat, and such, before buying something too large to handle competently and setting off on a fantastic voyage?
What's your opinion? The more humorous the better. :)
