I don’t drink any more so maybe I’m not qualified to vote on this.... but I don’t miss it at all in fact , I enjoy fishing more without it. I have some memories that make me shudder when I think of them and how lucky I am and how really bad things easily could have gone. My advise would be to save it for later after everything’s
cleaned and put away ... and all the fish are filleted. Then have a few if you want.

I went back and read all the posts. It seems some people don't know the difference between a beer and drunk. I love my beer with lunch. I know it is not hydrating, but it is refreshing and I like the taste. I drink water and gator aid except for my lunch beer. As for illegal to have alcohol on the boat, I am not sure what
state that applies to. Everywhere I have lived, it is illegal for the operator to be under the influence. Thanks in advance for your response to alcohol on the boat being illegal.

If a lot of people knew the difference between a beer or two and being drunk, we wouldn't have thousands of people die every year in drunk driving accidents. Some people don't have a limit.

I 100% agree. It is so unfortunate that it is often the people not drinking in excess that die.

Pabear... is it? Illegal, I mean? I've heard you can get popped for operating a boat drunk but I think you can still drink alcohol in a boat. I guess I'm reading these posts wrong because I'm not seeing anyone condemn a man for having a beer or two, or even someone that has more than that. I'm reading about men sharing what their personal choice is. I'm with Ben, I don't give a damn what anyone does. Of course that gets thrown out the window if someone's drunken behavior puts my family in harms way. At that point, I walk an entirely different path....

I used to work with a guy who sold his boat and quit fishing. He said his drinking team had a fishing problem.

The "bananas on the boat" thing:

When sailing from the "New World", european sailors started the "bananas are bad luck" idiocy, because they were too stupid to check the banana bunches for spiders before loading in the hull. Depending on the voyage length, the spiders inevitably crawled out and some being poisonous were responsible for some sailor deaths while underway. Often the spider was simply a tarantula, surely scary to find crawling around on a boat, but only a few species are capable of killing a human.....their venom is intended for lizards and birds, etc., their normal prey.

Unless you are planning on buying/bringing an entire "five foot, six foot, seven foot bunch !" (thanks, Mr. Belafonte), or you are simply "Mr. Oblivious", you needn't further this centuries-old B.S.
Simply an "old sailors tale"....much like its cousin, the "old wives tale".
Besides.... bananas are an excellent healthy snack, in addition to having a very environmentally-safe "packaging".
They're also an excellent source of potassium, a known leg-cramp preventative.

Mayhaps I could just go ahead and disturb a wider range of "naysayers" by making fresh banana daiquiris on my pontoon boat (yes, they make a 12v blender).... you can refer to me as "that dastardly Oregonian Capt. Morgan" !

Thanks, interesting. I was in the produce section of Raleys looking through banana bunches and my wife found a smallish tarantula type spider under a bunch, me being the self proclaimed identifier I had to see it, I dropped the bunch too fast to think about squishing it, but went and got the produce guy who had to carefully go through them to find it. From what we could tell looking at pictures to identify it this was not the kind of spider you wanted to get bit by...as I recall it had the stripes on the legs.

Sounds much like a "Wolf spider"... the "bull snake" of spiders. NEVER kill one....they are what keeps the "other" spiders in control, much like the bull snake eats rodents and other snakes that you don't want setting up housekeeping nearby.
Not all creepy-crawlies are our "enemies"....many are our friends.

If I saw a big spider on the bananas you would soon hear “ Clean up aisle two” on the intercom.
