Warm, clear day, calm water, slow cruise around the lake, one hand on the wheel and the other on (choose one):

1. The lady's knee

2. A beer

3. A Romeo y Julieta churchill

Of course, you could alternate, but all three at once would be ideal.

Tried using one foot once, but burned my big toe, spilled the beer, and got smacked across the cheek.

Ah, life can be so unfair...!

it all depends on the freshness of 1 and 2. ( havent a clue what 3 is !!) if #1 is colder than #2......go with # 2!!! ( just make sure you have plenty of option 2 at home!)

Nope, when I don't have enough hands I just let the wife drive, then I get one hand on a Beer and the other, well this is a family oriented site so you figure it out....

Yeah, I forgot to mention - sometimes when I don't have enough hands, the lady lends me hers....!

Re: Ever feel like you don't have enough hands...?

Normally when we're under way, we're just cruising around and the wife sits up front which is prefectly fine with because for 1, I have my steering/throttle hand, AND free hand for beer/smoke... PLUS I get the benefit of being able to look forward to watch where I'm going, AND take more than a few 'glances' at the real reason I'm growing to love my open bow.. her, up front, in her little shorts and bikini top. ;)

Now, typically after a 20-30min 15-20mph cruise, and all those 'short' glances up front, we find a nice spot to drop anchor, then I still got my beer/smoke hand, AND a free hand for.............. uhh, fishing? lol

For the not so 'funny' answer to your question now... Today, I coulda killed to have an entire extra body whenever I was adjusting my trailer and running side to side dozens of times to adjust the three jacks I had to use.

D) all of the above

Knee can hold the wheel, cigar and icy cold glass of rum in my right hand, wife on the left hand.

I can smell the water now...and I'm trapped at work.

Hmm. Maybe there's a subtle reason that the forum begins with "Sticky -- Adults Only"...

What do you think?

So a couple weeks ago, its just me and my wife, she is sitting next to me in the Admirals seat and it was a little bumpy, my wife looks over at me after awhile of this and asks me why I don't get the Bow out of the water so the Hull can take the waves like I showed her a couple years ago?

I just smiled at her



"Oh my God, your such a Man!!"


I love Boating!!
