Fish traps have a funny habit of showing up suddenly where there were no fish traps the day before, they will make their appearance usually around "Dusk". The guy that's set's up the "MINE FIELD" (fish traps) by me paint's the floats "Black", and is often inside of the "Marked" channel, everybody "Hates" that guy !
If you are in control of the boat, and something goes wrong as you have stated, your wife will blame you. Its best to let your wife run the boat, so she can`t blame you. If you maintain the boat and something goes wrong, your wife will blame you. its best to let the wife maintain the boat also. If fact title the boat in her name too, so it is "her' boat, and just go along for the ride. But just remember that men don`t blame others when all hell breaks loose, on the boat
BTW I an not an anti feminist. For the many years I was married, I shared the responsibilities with my wife, with running and maintaining my boats. At the present I`m teaching my girlfriend to run it also. If
your an anarchist expect the blame.
It was pitch black and we were going out trolling. It was entirely my fault, it was windy and the chop was 1-2 feet, my onboard lights were killing my night vision and the wind and tide was adjusting my course without me realising. I was trying to ferry glide to compensate but obviously made a mess of it. But we didn't panic, got safely out of the fish traps and went home to lick our wounds ( which included a broken toe).
