Life Lessons From A Boat

We learn many things on a boat - names of various pieces of hardware, how to tie knots, nautical terms etc. We also learn and continue to learn beyond the physical boundaries of the boat.....lessons that flow over to everyday life.
                                                      

Boating teaches us how to deal with unexpected situations and to operate in a constantly changing environment. Learning to confidently and competently handle unknowns on the water makes it easier to handle unexpected changes in our daily lives.
(Sometimes, the unexpected will change your life.)
                                                         

Boating also teaches patience. With boating, your patience is constantly being tested....from poor boat ramp etiquette to frustrating boat repairs and, of course, the discourteous individuals and the "No Wake Zone".  
                                                       

There are certainly many more lessons we have learned and many more to learn. 

But, for now we'll just soak up the sun (or watch a sunset), slow down, meander and float our worries away!
