Motorhome Mariners

[Urban Hermit]

A motorhome mariner is someone who thinks he learned all he needs to know about boating from driving his motorhome down the road (I've got one of those too so don't throw rocks). Now let's do a Jeff Foxworthy take off: "You might be a motorhome mariner if --"

Warning: I've got over half-a-hundred of these written down somewhere.

You might be a motorhome mariner if you think there's a 50-foot statute of limitations on wake damage.

You might be a motorhome mariner if you think an overboard drill is a waterproof one.

Etc. Have at it.

You might be a motor home mariner if you can’t remember which one is the dodger, which one is the bimini, so you call them the front awning and the back awning….

If you believe everything NOAA tells you.

You might be a motor home mariner if you come into the dock shouting "Where are the brakes?"

 

[Urban Hermit]

If everybody in the marina rushes you with boat hooks and fenders. (Or if you call fenders "bumpers.")

You might be a motor home mariner if your cooler is the best part of your boat

If your generator has more hours on it than your engine.

You move your boat to the slip with your dinghy because the twin 350’s won’t start.

 

[Urban Hermit]

Ain't nuthin you kain't do iffen you put yo mind territ, so doan nobody trita tell yo how to run yo damn boat.

Or if you call fenders "bumpers."

I resemble that remark.

You might be a motor home Mariner if you plan your trips by plotting the Walmart locations along the route.

[Urban Hermit]

We plan our RV excursions by plotting antique and junque shots along our routes.

You might be a motorhome mariner if you "can drive anything with wheels under it" you can drive a boat just fine.

You might be a motorhome mariner if you “ jump into the cockpit and ask, Hey where are the backup cameras? How you gone back this sucker up without backup cameras?”

ALL the motorhome-sailing jokes are funny but that assumes the motorhome owner can first handle their motorhome!!

Well we are full time in our coach and the stuff we see at rv parks is downright shame!!!
SHAME ON THE MESS!!!!

 

[Urban Hermit]

We're a long way from full time but we have a boat on wheels DP. You make me realize that anyone who thinks they learned about sailing from driving their RV is probably as incompetent and dangerous in the RV as they are in the boat -- but there's no place where ignorance and stupidity are as starkly and immediately evident as on the water.

How about the transition from the water to land and from land to the water?

Evidence.

I like the one where the crocks are having a bit of a laugh...

You might be a motorhome mariner if you think the front of the boat is where it turns while docking/parking, not the stern.

[Urban Hermit]

If you bought your boat to feel important
Or because you look good in it.
Or because she thinks you look good in it
Or because she does look good in it.
Or because it's a foot longer than your neighbor's

 

[Urban Hermit]

You might be a motorhome mariner if you're the most important person in the marina office.

 

[Will Gilmore]

You might be a motorhome mariner if you wear a cowboy hat at the helm.
