Homie how tf are you sailing with no boat?
That’s the power of your imagination!
This simple trick, 🏴☠️
You wouldn't download a boat
Not a sailboat, but still a downloaded boat. https://www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/Printcess.html
sail on home to the never say die flavor of simple Rick.
I'm the captain now!
A friend with a boat is what you want. Same with a pool.
The best boat there is is one you don't own!
Never sailed in a pool before, brb.
You get really good at tight turns.
First they tell me I can go sailing, now you say I can make friends... What other pie in the sky fantasies are you selling!?
Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves. And the aforementioned knowledge of sailing.
And prepare to get wet! ^.^
Rent a boat?
They said you don't need a boat.
You don't need to own a boat. Apologies.
You don’t need a boat, but sailing is much easier with a boat.
you join a club and are crew. it's literally how most sailing clubs function. How the hell are you supposed to race a boat if only the owner gets to be on it? The larger the boat the more the crew you need. The fees at my club for crew are $40 a year. That's like 1/3 the cost of netflix and way more worth it. And many clubs also have a "why buy?" club where you can captain one of the fleet boats a certain number of times a year and bring your own crew.
you can stick a tiny american flag in your lil belly button and float on by.
Even ten years ago I was like what the heck is an American flag doing on this boat?? The American empire is like one of my least fave so can we at least use the less horrifying state flag?
The same way you live in a place that you don't own.
OK, but you don't see me starting an "apartment renting school"
If renting an apartment carried with it a similar significant risk of drowning, there might be a demand.
I would like to introduce you to Florida
