Were about 1 hour from our favorite day lake, Lake Pueblo. 3 hours roughly to Big Mac in Nebraska our favorite weekend lake and 8 hours from our all time favorite Lake Powell.

Less than a mile from my driveway to the ramp. The ocean is about 400 yards away and there is a house between me and the Intracoastal Waterway. But the ramp is down the road less than a mile.

I've got 3 boat landings within 3 miles of home, great fishing and good sandbars.

It takes me about 45 seconds to walk to my boat from my back door.

12 minutes, 8 miles to the most commonly used ramp. 15 minutes, 10 miles to the next one, if the 3 lights are right.

I hate people like you :)

Right now, I'm boating from my driveway, so it's about 20 feet. Normally, I'm 10 miles/15 minute drive from the dock.

Is it almost Spring yet?

Boat ramp? What's that? I am at a private dock, about 40 minutes from my house. Another 45 minutes taking it easy and I am on the ocean or relaxing at Peanut Island in the crystal clear water.

I have attached two photos from just south of the Palm Beach Inlet two weeks ago and the ocean was flat and clear.

Gotta love south Florida boating...

River is about 25 min. away, but not my choice. Leaves mud/slime/grunk line along the waterline.....hate that.

Our usual lake is about 2 hrs. away, but not a bad drive at all. Then again, we are rural, and going anywhere is at least 18 miles one way, so you get used to driving.

About 45 minutes to nearest lake; about the same to nearest ocean ramp.

Funny thing though is that driving 45 minutes with boat in tow is much easier, and seems quick, compared to driving even 5 minutes to get to the office or to get to the in laws!!!!!
