    When I was in my 20s I went on a boat with a bunch of friends on Canyon Lake. My fiancé at the time jumped into the water and seconds later a huge wind pushed our pontoon boat. She started panicking so I decided to be a hero and swim over to her to help her get back to the boat. Well, as soon as I got close to her she latched on to me for dear life and wouldn't let go. I didn't have a life vest, none of us did so she almost drowned me. We finally managed to get back on the boat but I had never been so exhausted in my entire life. I was seconds away from drowning. To this day I will never get on a boat. And if anyone is reading this: do NOT get on a boat unless you and everyone on board puts on a life vest.

  • @Mockturtlesoup1
    @Mockturtlesoup1 Місяць тому +2

    Yeah, as someone who grew up around the ocean, learned to sail at a young age(those dinky little sailboats not real ones), and who routinely goes 2-4 hours(or even 6-8hrs on rare occasions) on shark and wreck dives, people just don't realize how bad shit can go, and _really_ fast.
    What gets me is the simple, (seemingly)obvious stuff like just bringing enough water/drinks(and food) for your day at sea, or sunscreen, having a fire extinguisher, or even just being a decent swimmer(you'd be shocked at how often on shark dives, which are at the surface of 200-300ft of water where I go(New England/New York), there will be people free diving(i.e. with no SCUBA gear, which is how most of us choose to roll), having no clue whatsoever about the current, how much the wind is pushing the boat, knowing how to properly swim with fins, etc., and just get stuck only like 40-50ft from the boat, because they're exhausted and can't keep swimming against the current/wind. Or worse, they start getting those cramps in their feet/toes/calves(again, because they haven't drank enough water, and don't know how to use their fins properly, so they overexert themselves.) Worse still, they don't even know how to just _float._
    So then someone has to go help them, which is very dangerous to do(especially if you're also free diving) while the captain gets the boat running to go after him, and/or we can get the guy a life jacket or life line. The worst part is, they're wearing a wet suit(usually 7mm around here) that would make them float, if only they could stop panicking(or listen to what we're saying to him) long enough to realize that all they need to do to stay at the surface is drop their weight belt.
    Okay, I'm rambling, I'll stop now.

I ended up pumping the gas line and pull starting the boat motor and got us back to the docks and found out my dad was having a stroke!!!! I yelled at the other 2:10 2:10 boaters on the dock and they helped me get the boat to the side of the dock. 5 YEARS OLD!!!! I was still boating until a couple years ago when my cancer got worse and I’ve been stuck a few times on the river but never untie until you start your boat. MY POINT IS DONT GIVE UP! ITS TOO FUN AND RELAXING. PLUS CAITLIN DIDNT GIVE UP WHEN SHE FIRST GOT TO THE WNBA BE ASSULTED AND TAUNTED! I DONT PICTURE YOU AS A QUITER.
