Don't touch me

[Aquaholic]

There's a reason I like to boat with my 45-70 lever gun close at hand and it ain't for cougars or bears when we go to a beach up an inlet.

Helps to keep interactions at sea calm and reasonable.

what would you do with the gun?

Go full vedder on em as a wise gong show once said

I'm only joking around in this context. But I do like having a rifle.

 

[Daveroo]

Don’t regret being passive. You can’t fix stupid, you took the appropriate action.

Not to mention those types of stupid d!@k$ are also the types that can go full Vedder on you.

I would suggest that it would prevent a full Vedder encounter.

Maybe. Or someone could get shot in the heat of the moment..

 

[absolon]

...either that or he would pull his own gun, and then you'd need a bigger one.......party!

 

[M1SF1T]

OK guys. Control yourselves.

Yeah I figured he probably had a few more pops on boat than me that day and even though I probably outweighed him, the problem is most of that is hanging over my belt. Also with my boat out and in the way of everything now I didn’t need to have more guys upset that the ramp was being held up.

Just would have been nice to show him how entitled and arrogant he was being.

Drives me nuts when I repeatedly ask people NOT to touch the boat when I'm docking and they still insist on grabbing it. 9/10 times they force me to have to speed up or adjust what I'm doing. I like doing it myself, there's a system.
"Need any help?!"

"No, thank you"

"Well, I'll just go ahead and reef on your bow rails and pull you into the dock with no fenders anyways. I insist."

Bow thruster .....full, opposing direction works every time.

I always smile, hand them the line, step on to the dock, take lines back and thank them for the help.
This works best in calmer weather
