  • This video brings tears to the eyes of anyone who has been brought up around the sea. It chokes me up any time I watch it.

    My grandfather and grandmother are responsible for my love of boating and the water. It is a tradition I intend to pass to my children.

    There is nothing that brings our family as close as being on our boat.

  • Amazing

  • I am a Liberal, and I liked this video. So, the guy below is full of it.

  • reenlistblues: The guy below is dead on.

    While we are all glad you have the common sense to recognize the benefits of hunting and fishing, the enviro-wack-jobs who want to give legal representation to birds and fish belong to your party.

    As a result, you will unfortunately be found guilty by association.

    However presumptuous this is, if it is too hard on you, simply disassociate yourself from the party.

    You are, for the time being, still free to do so. :)

  • an excellent video, the sad thing is that the liberals want to take all that type of stuff away from us; fishing hunting shooting boating you name it.

  • I like. Visit myboatslog com to share your boating adventures

  • This is very well done. When people want to promote things these days they often forget that the best way is to touch on what the real human benefit is of the thing they are trying to promote. This makes me wish I was a boater.

  • Thanks Rangerbass for your kind words. I took my Baja out for the first time yesterday, before I left the no wake zone, I stopped and said a little prayer for my father. It's just what I had to do.

    Thanks again! Russ

  • I actually met that old man in my theater class.

    he's very young at heart

  • I just lost my father last night, and he was the one that brought the love of the water and boating into my life. This video reminds me so much of my upbringing.. Very powerful.

    Take care all god bless..

  • Sorry about your father. And make sure you keep the water and boating in your life tweo of the best things you can do. I almost cried when i read yours. again I'm sorry.
