Heard at the dock

[potter water]

A week on Lake Powell out of Bull Frog Marina yielded the following this past week. I posted it on the Powell site, but thought it might be fun to post it here as well. Anyone else with real stories of "heard at the dock" might want to contribute.

A. Three girls walking across the bridge from the parking lot to the Bull Frog Marina:

"You shut up!"
"No, you shut up!"
"I'm not shutting up, you shut up!"

An so it went 'till they disappeared up the doc to the sheltered houseboats.


B. Little boy in the parking lot TO his big brother who had his girlfriend with him:

"What kind of man are you to have a girl haul that hand cart by herself?"

No comment that was audible from the big brother.


C. Two guys, a dog and a wife and a little girl, fishing from the dock 3 feet from my bow at 12:30 in the morning:

Guy 1-"I saw three of the biggest trout I ever seen in the lake, right here last night."
Guy 2-"Ain't no trout in Lake Powell, you seen Carp!"
Guy 1-"Ain't no carp, I seen carp, these weren't no carp, they wuz trout, biggest I ever seen."
Guy2-"You dumb S###t, ain't no trout here!"
Guy 1-"Well, just cuz you say they ain't, don't mean they ain't."

Guy 1-"Whats the biggest fish you ever caught out of Powell?"
Guy 2-"30 inch striper."
Guy 1-"Yeah, well that ain't nothin'. I caught me a 40 inch striper just last week."
Guy 2-"Oh, yeah, I forgot about the 45 incher I caught in April."
Guy 1-"Hmmm, yup, I think that 40 incher I caught was actually maybe closer to 47 inches now's that I think about it."
Guy 2-"You dumb s###t! You never caught a 47 inch striper, you're just trying to out do me."
Guy 1-"You got another beer in the cooler?"

D. Very sexy brunette in bikini, somewhere in her 30's and a beer belly guy with lots of tattoos, and a Mohawk hair do and too many beers. Tying up their boat two slips over from mine.

Girl-"Lets tie it up so's it won't hit the dock on either side."
Guy-"Naw, its fine just tied to one side."
Girl-"Lets tie it up so's it won't hit the dock on either side!"
Guy-"Well, if there were fenders, then we could just tie it to one side and it'd be fine!"
Girl-"Do you see any fenders anywhere?"
Guy-"No, I know there aren't any fenders, I'm just sayin' if there were, that we could use them and the boat would be just fine."
Girl-"You do see there's no point to this conversation if there aren't any fenders, right?"
Guy-"Yeah, but these are sure S###t for crappy dock lines."
Girl-"Yeah, but these are the dock lines we have."
Guy-"I know, I'm just sayin' that it would be better if the dock lines weren't pieces of S###t."
Girl-"You do see that there isn't a point to this conversation either, don't you?"
Guy-" Just sayin' the boat needs fenders and some new dock lines that aren't pieces of s###t."
Girl-"You do realize that I own the boat, right?"
Guy-"Well, yeah, you own everything."
Girl-"Why is it you don't own anything?"
Guy-"I ain't got a job and you know it, but the boat still needs fenders and some decent dock lines."

I can't repeat the rest of the conversation. There aren't enough $@%$# on the key board to cover the content adequately.

Some times it is just fun to sit quietly in the back of the boat of an evening at the dock and watch the parade of people and listen to the communications going on.

Still C-razy

Good times. I think a heard at dock thread is an excellent addition to the site.

Ah summer at Lake Powell! The reason we try and go before the vacation season....or after the summer! Also less PWC, and reckless boaters.

he need a job or she needs a new boat boy.

A mid 20's couple walking down the dock, apparently towards the boat they were going out in soon:

(She: a pretty tight tank top, shorts and flip flops.
(He: cut off jeans, a T-shirt and tennies.

She: I wanna drive this time.
He: No, I get to drive.
She: You always drive. How come you always get to drive?
He: Because I have the keys.
She: How come you always have the keys.
He: Two reasons, one I have pockets and two I own the boat.

I did notice that SHE drove it away from the dock. 8)

I am saving experiences here in the marina for a future writing project. It is chilly and rainy this morning... I really don't understand the whole wearing longjohns with shorts look. No, not leggings under shorts on young girls, this would be guys with their longjohns hanging out. :roll: I saw two different guys dressed this way this morning... oh, and no jacket (in the rain). No, not young guys. :crook

At first I was just going to shoot from the hip and a comment on Jim's observation of the dweebs (insignificant person) wearing long johns and shorts combination look as being some sort of west coast phenomenon. Just to make sure I was not shooting myself in the foot I checked with my go to guy for east coast fashion consultations and found out this fashion faux pas also occurs here to on the east coast. I'm still waiting for piercings and tatoos to go out of style so I can look like a normal fat person. Wats up wit dat?
