  • My family owns a boat; we took it out on Lake Tahoe earlier this summer.

  • Long time ago.  We took a Tiger Cruise when our son was in the Navy.  We sailed from NC to Norfolk when the ship came back to the US from deployment.  Not much can beat that experience!

    Everyday! I work in the boating industry, just yesterday I took a ride up the mystic River on a Hinckley Talaria 44.

    A little over 20 years.  Some people from church lived by a lake.  During an after church get together, they took me and a few others around the lake on their boat.  While it was ok, I don't care to go on a boat again.

  • It was 30 years ago.  I live in San Francisco, and boarding a boat is the only way to visit Angel Island and Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at August 5, 2021 6:49 AM MDT

    About 12 years ago I took a seabus across the harbour to the North Shore and return.

    The last time that I remember was a riverboat cruise on the St. Croix river around 2003. It's likely there are more recent boat rides, but I don't recall them right now.

    One of the things on my bucket list is taking a paddle boat ride on the Mississippi river while dressed like a souther gentalmen in a white suit - chatting with the other passengers about how I made my fortune by inventing bicycle pants. Sort of like that  movie were the 2 girls told people that they invented post it notes but with bicycle pants. Cheers

    Last time I visited my family in Sydney. My brother has a half-cabin cruiser.

    I did a lot of boating as a kid and teenager, Dad had a New Model Savage - not much more than a dinghy, but with high sides so you could take it on open water provided you weren't in a great hurry to get anywhere. A 12-horse Evinrude outboard was about all it could carry. We must have hauled in several tons of fish over a decade.

    I've never been on a boat. Am I missing anything?

    Sea sickness and the possibility of falling overboard and drowning.

    If a houseboat tied to a dock counts about a mouth. Cheers!

    Ooh, for a long distance, some 8 years ago now, and a ship rather than boat - a ferry across the North Sea. (I was on holiday).

    Since then I have taken a coastal cruise on the preserved sea-going paddle-steamer "Waverley"; and on the much smaller river-only paddle-steamer "Monarch", which I gather was built some time in the 1980s or 90s. ( The present "Waverley" was built c.1948 to replace her predecessor, sunk in WW2.) This post was edited by Durdle at August 8, 2021 4:18 PM MDT
