Apparently, one of the best kept boating secrets is that you are supposed to pull your fenders in while underway...

That is funny I saw a few of those this weekend. What I was happy to see was that the people were going MUCH slower on the river then I have ever seen before. I had to keep putting my boat in and out of gear to keep from running up on the guy in front of me when I headed out. It was nice for a change.

I have acquired a few fenders that were improperly attached to boats and fell off over the years.

Cat's out of the bag I guess! Darn, I'll have to go buying fenders now! I usually find 2-3 per year minimum.
When these folks fly by my property with a bumper flailing and flopping about we usually call these folks "Boat Haddocks." |

We call them poodles. It started when I was out in California and one of our friends with a very nice Cig planed off with them still out. We all had our cameras clicking away catching the action.
I got a 4 pack of life jackets, throwable, and a basket ball last year. |

I keep hoping I will find a mate to all the orphans we have found. RG keeps telling me, "don't you think we have enough?" I offer to throw a worse one back in if it would make her feel better. She always gives in. Don't tell her.
