This is a question Water, boats and all that floats

Scaryduck hasn't changed the question because he's away drinking on a boat. So.

Tell us your stories of drinking and sinking, in piddly little pedalos all the way up to that oil tanker you "borrowed" ...

I hate boats/ships/ things that float!
I have traveled on ships, floating bridges and even hovercraft. Growing up as forces brat, my Dad would drive across Germany, Holland and Belgium to catch the ferry from Zeebrugge to Dover. This would happen every summer and every winter. I was sick on every ship in the fleet that did this crossing. I was on the Herald of Free enterprise a week before it sank and we thought that they had made a beautiful job during its refit, with all of the new glass walls.

The Hovercraft crossing in January was awful, the craft bounced it's way across the sea, the inflated rubber skirt kept crashing against the side, scaring the shit out of the passengers and when we finally floated into Dover, even my Dad threw up.

The Floating bridge that connects Plymouth to Cornwall has also made me throw up. However, while stood on top of it, looking down at the water, it was horrifying seeing the raw human sewage that was dumped into the Tamar back then.

Boats, I hate them. I even hate Kayaks, after throwing up in one of them too. I tried body boarding once... You can guess how that ended.

I definitely prefer boats / ships / things that float
to boats / ships / things that don't float though.
