Minimum boating time

[Shadowcruzr]

What do you consider the shortest amount of time you'd consider for launching your boat?

 

[In the know]

Do you mean what is the shortest amount of time I would consider going out for?

If so, heck, I have un-tied for a 15 minute cruise around Wickford because my son wanted to go for a ride.

 

[Finally]

I agree with " In the know" We take the boat out for any reason even just to see if it's windy.

Same here - sometimes it's just to go from dock to dock - sorta like halloween "trick or treating!"

Certainly less than the "1 to 2 hours" I selected... Something like 20 min.

Not me personally, but several folks I know will tow the boat to work during summer, then go fishin "on the way home" for "a little while". Usually, they are looking foe the "sweet spot" fishing near sunset, in which case they may have their limit in as little as 15 min. Makes for a good "attitude corrector" between work and home, as well.

Right now I live 2 minutes from work, literally, and my boat is 2 minutes away from the house and the ramp I could hit with a rock from the front door. But it never seems like I have the time to get out before the thunderstorms hit. Plus the wife doesnt leave work for an hour and 15 minutes after me and she needs a ride home...

Paul, you need to change your priorities! Boating shoud come before picking up the wife at work.......

 

[Shadowcruzr]

I hear you Flutterby, too bad there isnt a dock at her work...

I'll go for 10min sometimes - that last run around the cove late on Sunday is some of my best boating ever. About once a month I will run out to the late after work and go out until dark. A few years back when we had the boat at Lake Norman, I would occasionally go up early for a little boat time before work. I don't meed much of an excuse to go boating. It is rarely too hot, too cold or too short of a time. Thunder and lighting is about all that will really keep me away.

Sometimes I can get my fix in 30 min.

 

[Veebyes]

If it is not for an overnight it just is not worthwhile the hour it takes to get onboard.
