Yeah, so I went to Bear Lake this weekend and realized, again, that really I don't care about boating. It really sort of fascinates me how people just loooove it. I mean, don't get me wrong. I do loooove going to a beach and hanging out in the sun all day with cool people. I love playing in the surf, throwing football, lounging on a raft that is gently rocked by the swaying of the water...could do without having to reapply sunscreen every second...but anyway. I love land-meets-water excursions.
However, I simply do not understand the fascination with having a huge possession that takes oodles of time, space, energy, and money to get, maintain, and use. I'm sure there are exceptions, but most boats are, in my book, and absolute waste. I mean, half the time conditions aren't good enough to do anything anyway. I will submit, though, that there is a fabulous alternative.
The seadoo. Oh dear, the seadoo is quite a different matter, for, there is no doubt that while it may still take some time, space, energy, and money, all of those are far less in proportion to the fun they provide. Man, seadoos are so easy to run, you hop right on, turn the throttle and what do you have? Instant fun, I tell you, instant fun. Yes! It's like a motorcycle (and I love motorcycles) only better cause there are none of those pesky lanes or that dangerous asphalt. Sweet! You can go crazy, jet all over, and if you should happen to take a turn too tight? So, you fall off, into billowing water, pop up thanks to your nifty life vest, laugh over the gobs of fun you are having, hop back on and are off again. I love it! Man, heaven grant me a seadoo, that is some motorized funness that is well worth the effort.
