#8: Overcoming a #boatfail!

#8: Overcoming a #boatfail!

There's nothing more humbling than having things not go as planned! We have all been there. You prepare, you're ready to go, and then wham! Not what you intended to have happen! What the heck? It happens to us all, and there are several things you can do to get your confidence back after a #boatfail.

Common #boatfails
  1. Docking: hitting dock, hitting another boat, not ending up in your slip, too slow, too fast
  2. Running aground: submerged object, sandbar, didn't know depth, not paying attention
  3. Running out of gas: lack of prep, bad weather, unexpected weather
  4. Forgetting drain plug: happens A LOT
  5. Overloading the boat: capacity plate, too many passengers, cutting down on trips
  6. Skying your halyard: didn't hold on to the end, didn't attach shackle properly

The stages of #boatfail grief:

Don't Worry

Take Stock

Get Angry

Write it Down

Take Responsibility

Check Your Habits

Move On

Experiencing a #boatfail says NOTHING about you as a successful boater. We all make mistakes. We all fall, then we get back up. Learn from it. Embrace it. Talk about it. And most important of all.... Don't forget about it.

Happy boating!

Penny
