I don't want to own a boat. 

I want more friends who own boats.

Yeah, I was the same way.  That works right up until you want to go out, and they don't.

Or you want to go out, and they've already got a boat full of girls-- that you wanted to hit on.

So I went and bought my own boat, so I could go out whenever I wanted, with whomever I wanted.  Including boats full of girls-- that I wanted to hit on.

And by the end of my second season with a boat, I was dating my i s c & a aggie wife.  :)

That's a good rule of thumb.

They give that advice to NFL rookies so that they don't burn through all of their cash by the time they are 30.

Well the invention of the airplane does predate the NFL by a few years, so you might be right I suppose. :a035:

The planes back then weren't nearly as high tech as they are today, and the dollar was a lot stronger.

I rented a small boat in Hawaii a few years back, I guess it was a 15 footer, with two engines.  We took it out on the Pacific looking for whales.  The Pacific really isn't, even on a light day.  The wife was concerned about getting lost but it was only a 3 hour tour.

a 15 footer in the pacific?

not me

I've fished countless hours in 15 foot boats on rivers, ponds, and small lakes

not even large lakes or  Reservoirs  - which I refer to as BIG water

I know everyone wants me to care about the Pacific Ocean "garbage patch". 

And I do.

But I live near the ocean, and I never throw my trash in the ocean. It's not me, guys!

Maybe they should go after the people who are actually putting the trash in the ocean. I don't know how to fix the problem, personally.
