Only on stormy days. I was 10 or 11 and we lived on the lake. I was out almost everyday.

That was before parents became over protective pricks. Here ya go son, a boat a motor and a can for gas. Go have fun and don't kill yourself...

LOL! For me it was the damn swans. Good times though.


First "real" boat was a Chapparal 198xl. I was 19 and thought I was the shiznit.

Long/short, my dad built a place on a lake in a fly in community in the UP. Pretty desolate. I hated the swans, chased the ducks and was afraid of everything else.
