Impressed a few onlookers

[cool][#0000ff]Glad you had a good trip...and that you had the wind working for you and not against you.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In the 50 plus years I have been tubing I have probably been the first float tuber on a lot of waters. And I have been surrounded by gawkers at the end of a lot of trips. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]What is even funnier is to listen to the stupid comments you hear from boaters going by...in areas that are not yet common to tubers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"Yeah, they got little motors in 'em."[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"There's waders on the bottom and ya jest step into 'em."[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"He is actually walking on the bottom."[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]And the best ones...[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"Oh, they're fun and all that but you can't catch any fish from 'em."[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]"Those belly boats are only for guys who can't afford a boat. Poor guy."[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Of course when I return to shore after catching a lot of fish in view of the onlookers I get more admiration than scorn. And I have probably been responsible for selling a whole lot of float tubes in parts of the country where they were not common before.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Keep up the good work.[/#0000ff]
