The Pontoon Life
We did it. We bought a boat. We rented one during quarantine while in Tennessee, fell in love with Lake Life and decided we had to have one. It was not easy finding one but we did. Getting it was a whole adventure in itself.
This isn't the first time we have owned a boat. Several years ago, we owned a deck boat. That was when one of us were not "scared" and more "cautious." Speed is nerve-wrecking to, OK, I will just let it out of the bag right now, ME. It is nerve wrecking to ME..... because I was always the one holding the baby, or sitting with our - then- toddlers and making sure random things weren't flying out of the boat as hubby insisted on reving up that throttle. I can't count how many times I would end up sitting on the bottom back portion of the deck boat just so I didn't have to watch us bounce over waves; whether in the lake, or the river. That is a whole other issue! : ) I was not about to go that route again, so PONTOON it was, as we searched for a new boat.
I loose a lot of debates when it comes to boating. The only thing it will prove, is that hubby will loose his boating companion if he keeps it up! Our kiddos are all older now and it's him and I out on adventures..... but.... I will not hesitate to leave him lonely if he scares me in the waters! Wait - is THAT his goal???? Seriously though.... join us as we venture out into different Florida waters. It will probably sound a bit familiar to you. "Don't You want to slow down so the anchor can hook on?" "Did you remember to lift the motor?" "Are you sure I had the key?" "That doesn't sound right...."
It gets funnier. Just join us....
