If you’re out in the water anytime soon, watch out! You’re hearing from a gentleman who now has his Pleasure Craft Operator’s Card.
I’m heading home next week to do some fishing and help around the house. I had forgotten about the Operator’s Card hoopla and I figured I would like to take the boat for a spin so I crammed and only got 4 answers wrong. I must admit even though I heard the test was very simple, I was a little concerned at the different buoys and signs I had to study as you don’t encounter too many of those coming from the North and hanging around the lakes. Seems like they are geared towards the rivers around Ontario.
Either way, there were no questions about buoys which was a relief. Now that that’s out of my way, perhaps I’ll buy a boat soon enough!
Who knows how much this website will be updated in the next week so to give you your daily dose of Palmer, I recommend you check out the Archives and find some of your favourite posts! You can also make note of them in the comments section!
A special shout out to my cousin Troy who is on a fishing trip of his own this week in which I had to ditch due to the Roger Waters concert. It’s a good thing I did as the concert was originally on the Monday and it got moved to the Wednesday! Imagine if I had staked my claim for the trip and the concert got moved! Eek! Anyhow, hope the fish were a biting and the beers were a-flowing. I will see you next weekend in Toronto. Bring your guitar.

One reply on “Ahoy Matey!”
Good call on the Boaters Card. I will probably get mine sometime this year. I was speaking to one of our MNR guys that we dispatch for, and he told me that you have until 2009 to acquire one.
On a totally separate topic….YES, I will be bringing my guitar. Hopefully you have brought yours as well. The fishing trip wasn’t all that great…the weather sucked!!!
