These utube video clips may make her feel better, but some are almost too painful to watch. Others are almost too funny to be believed!

Yes, BTW is was me that nearly went in on one occasion - but for David Gage - and completely in when left to my own devices :rolleyes:

And yes, this is the third Forum post of 'ye ole' love boat video and third reference to Margo's docking / swimming skills...what are the odds that it's merely a coincidence??? .... :o :rolleyes: :eek:

Sorry. Missed the other posts of that video. It seemed like it may have been copied from 'America's Funniest Home Videos " or the like because of the laugh track. Should have known.

Ouch. Some are more painful than funny though. One day, I'm going to write a book: "One Thousand Ways to Hurt Yourself On a Boat."

Yeah, I found the ones funny that were due to poor judgement, mostly the boarding videos. "I'm getting off the boat, no, I'll get back on, no, I'll get off....splash!"

Some of the others were just painful, as we all know how easy it is to hurt yourself on slippery decks and docks...

I made my unfortunate dingy boarding error at the dingy dock in front of the Pusser's Rum Store/Restaurant, Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda. The upper balcony was filled with loads of people in various states of inebriation. If you're going to screw up you might as well do it in front of a lot of witnesses. Yes, after I got cleaned up, I had to go back to the Pusser's Rum Restaurant (for a few more drinks).
