How often does your boating go like this?

[Matt Phillips]

That's all part of boating. It's never the same without at least forgetting something.

One trick I've done to help me avoid forgetting the boat keys is I put the spare on a ring in the glove compartment of the towing car. That way I at least have one around. And yep...I've had to use it before (as I was about 3 hours away from home where the usual key was).

@txav8r is the man with the checklist.

I just wing it and have fun doing it.

Thanks! Wasn't exactly sure who said it but I know it was said AND worth repeating.

Well, if you ask me, Picture #4 in the OP is what makes it all worthwhile

You are 100% correct. It’s the reason I sold the dirt bikes. (My wife and daughter were not really into it) I wanted something we could do as a family. And so far evening dinners have been much more fun on the water!

Good times, I noticed who is holding the camera for clean up in isle 1, eh Captain..... Glad it all worked out. I always keep a couple rolls of paper towels on board. I also put a post it note at the door so I can review on my way out, can't say that it is fail proof but....

That sounds exactly like our trips out. Minus the poo of course. Well..... except 1 fishing trip 2 years ago, but I don't want to talk about that.

Speaking of poop....Strawberry farm in town makes you buy their buckets to pick..the bucket is $2. Once used for poop duty for the kid...so need a new $2 bucket for strawberries. strawberries sold separately.

I wish that I knew that this was @Bruce 's approach before following him to Bimini...

I didn’t put it in the post, but we were supposed to grab a roll of paper towels and we forgot those, then we actually forgot napkins at the pizza place but remembered before we drove off. Haha
