Waterman? Are You?

[sasto]

I've seen this term used here on our forum frequently....... I finally spent some time......and looked 'er up.

I think I'm a "waterman" (by FL terms).......but not sure.

Are you?

I wonder how many of us are drawn to our waters by our soul....

The exitement of being there...the fix.....

The unknown....wheather it be a pond, creek, or river..

Me?..... Still figger'en it out!

I see many "watermen" here that don't realize it yet.......fess up!......are you one?

Around here, a Waterman has a TFL, a CB or both. They wear white boots and drink 10 oz beers. They know how to use a snood, have a freezer full of bull lips out back and they know a good softie when they see one.

I'm thinking it's a good thing that I don't understand any of that.

Re: Waterman? Are You?

I have a pontoon for lakes and big rivers, river raft for long and short float trips on big and small rivers, and a square stern canoe for the same rivers when the water's low. They all get used throughout the year, and the admiral is getting me a kayak for my fortieth next month (she just doesn't know it yet). Either I'm a waterman or I have a problem (or both).

Re: Waterman? Are You?

Oh yes! Definitley a Waterman my friend.

To be next to, on or in the water whether it be a lake, river or sea soothes the soul.
My parents own a 400 year old converted mill house in Norther Italy with a river 20 feet from the front door and a stream 5 feet to the rear.
The sound either night or day is magical.
The sound of water slapping against my anchored boat while I lie under the sun is magical.

I have water in my veins!

I'm not gonna touch that one ... today is a "be nice" day! :facepalm:

See, I KNOW I have a problem ... can never get enough water! If there is none around to float on I have to settle for drinking it! I just gotta have my water!

That's why so many people like to vacation on or near water.

For me sitting and staring at water either on shore or on a boat is the ultimate way to relax.

And since I've never gotten seasick that makes me a waterman right?

Captain, just so we stay politically correct here, what about waterwomen?

How close can you get with salt water? Blood also has the same osmolality as salt water.

Hey "Waterbouys". I know better than to pile on you guys.......BUT!......I've met one of you, pretty sure he can float, pretty sure the other one can too.

And since I've never gotten seasick that makes me a waterman right?

Seasickness? Your a lucky waterman, Swabbie. Need you as a mate. Was in the anchor locker yesterday in fairy mild seas, got a good buzz on.

Ayuh,.... I Think I qualify,...

'course, I can't remember $&!* anyways,....

Bond-o......Hey...

1.....You qualify.
2.....remember what?
3.....refer to 1.

How close can you get with salt water? Blood also has the same osmolality as salt water.

Cool info Cofe. That's what my problem is.....need more salt!

I have a bug , guess you guys call it "spring fever".........pondering and thinking..........

When do I start?

I will absolutely work for free.

Re: Waterman? Are You?

Do I qualify as a waterman when I will close the shop at 1:00 in the afternoon, just to go sit on the boat at the dock and hunt around to find something to tinker with?

Any excuse to be on the boat?

Am I the only one who has ever sat on the boat in the driveway, drinking a beer and listening to the radio while the rest of the family were in the house eating dinner?
