Why do people get into boat trouble?

Try LACK of fear, respect, common sense, wisdom, experience and/or knowledge for starters. Of course in my case, I'd also have to admit that my troubles usually started not only with the usual lack of the above but also a bit TOO MUCH of another, like pride, impatience and/or beer.

Some of these things this board can help with. With others you're on your own. Good luck and be safe.
