    Being a childhood Huck Finn, mine would have been my first plywood flat bottomed v nose boat with 7.5 Evinrude complete with throttle/shift and steering wheel. I felt like King of the Kissimmee River in Fla.
    No shirt no shoes and blistered every weekend, I think the highest SPF sunscreen was 4 or 8 and provided little protection. Hope I don't ever have to pay for my childhood ignorance for the last statement, I see the dermatologist twice annually, in fact I have an appt tomorrow.

    Mine was at Castaic when my son was a year old. The whole day was a blast to be on our boat with our son and his first boat ride. Needless to say it was scary when we would get up to 45mph and he would fall asleep instantly and when we slowed down he would wake up.

    My second memorable boat trip was when my daughter was 2 months old and we took her to Lake Elsinore. It was just us and 1 other boat on the lake. Driving around the lake and looking down at my daughter in her carrier and seeing her smile is something I'll never forget.

    The third time was Memorial Day weekend two years ago when I took my girlfriend for the first time. The first day was windy and rough and I thought she was going to hate it but she loved the rough water. The next couple of days the weather was calm and the so was the water. She asked if the water was going to get rough again because that was fun. I knew then she was a keeper. :-)
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and smokin, shouting "Holy Shit ...What A Ride!"
