We'd better have photographs of you in said cap and gown, TPunk.
My favorite boating experience was getting to cruise to Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Acapulco, first class, for free, and then getting to shoot an episode of The Partridge Family on the way back. Now THAT'S a job! The food was incredible, we were treated like royalty, and it was all very grand.
I also used to go with my ex-wife's family to Catalina twice a year, and I always took a speedboat out and cruised, which I liked very much. Worst boating experience was when I went out with someone and we fished for sand dabs, and caught quite a few. Unfortunately, the guy I was with cleaned the fish on the boat and I got so nauseous I thought I was going to die.
As a child, I used to do the motorboats at MacArthur Park (of the song).
