Liquid when you watch this video I'm sure thoughts of your prop will come back to you. Rapidly.

I get all big headed when I load my boat because it goes on the trailer perfectly. But the Cove that I load in is always smooth as glass... if it was anything like this video, it would scare the crap out of me

Apparently these things live for like 30 years so the turtle might be checking me off its bucket list.

It took you all night to make a turtle habitat? Man back in the day I remember doing that with a cardboard box a few leaves and grass and a little bowl of water. Took about 10 minutes.
Now that I think about it I don't think my turtle liked me very much

Curious about your thoughts.
What in the hell are they doing? There are so many dumb things happening in this video I don't know where to begin?

Let's sit in the break for instance. We're 15 ft from shore but let's keep 12 people on the boat including the dog. Let me repeatedly sit in the break and drink every wave.

I understand these boats can't handle chop but this is a classic example of not understanding your water and not understanding basic water safety. He was totally unprepared for this situation.
