The connection to boating is, if someone boats just once a year, Independence Day is probably the day.

Personally, on Independence Day, my boat either stays in a slip or it's anchored by 3PM and doesn't move until the next day.

I like to sit on the dock behind my boat and watch one hundred drunken boaters try to get their boats out of the water and onto the trailers at the samee time.

Sounds boating related to me.

My boat is considered part of my life,fortune and sacred honor; so the post applies. Don't like it, don't read it! Build a bridge and get over it.

My wife and I are in the boat anchored behind LBI we should be able to see the fireworks from 5 different municipalities which includes Atlantic City.
To everyone that served you have our respect.
Phillbo good post don't sweat it, not that I can give you a pass!

'Boating related' or not; this is a holiday. Those who signed it essentially were signing a death warrant; little to gain but everything to lose. Would Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or Mitt Romney take such a risk now a day?
