Setting Sail On My Boat: “Like Making Love To A Chick On ‘My 600-Lb. Life’”

Rickey is being modest....that ain't no effin boat it's a yacht! A beautiful one too.

[@blkheromusic]

Rick definitely modest but ion know if that make it a yacht 😁😁. Think they call it a cabin cruiser when it's not quite yacht size. Whatever it is it's nice as a mf. House on the water wit the boat parked....sheesh

[@styner3]

I was in the Coast Guard and I usually try to discourage people from buying boats like yours because they don’t take time to learn how to navigate them and we end up saving them or recovering their bodies. You seem like the kind of captain that understands how serious boating safety is.

[@styner3]

@@Grownwisdom717, it's not the boat...this boat is a excellent sea going boat, it's just most people don't know how to navigate it and deal with the weather which is a huge factor when out on the water. Being in the Coast Guard I saw dozens of people lose their life and didn't have to with more knowledge about boating safety.

[@skippergrundy5248]

Coast guard, boater safety course. Worth taking this course, teaches you a lot of safety tips and teaches one a hell of a lot about boating skills. 90% of boaters will be less knowledgeable than you after taking this course. So glad I took course, use that experience gained from it, to stay safe while boating. Excellent safety course for boaters. Should be mandatory for all boaters.

[@fortheloveofmoney1752]

Where can you attend a class that teaches this course on how to drive a boat like this? I’m curious, as to what classes Rickey Smiley took to learn this ?

[@skippergrundy5248]

Look up on web. Coast guard auxiliary.

[@skippergrundy5248]

@@fortheloveofmoney1752 If your planning to buy and operate a big vessel. For insurance purposes. Obtain your captains license or train under a licensed captain for required number of hours to even get insurance on vessel. Without either of above, no good insurance company will cover you.

I’m a fellow Black Boater and hats off to you Ricky. Your water safety skills have me laughing at myself because o operate just as scary as you do!!

[@garyjohnson4575]

I have always been on the water, and I was really shocked when I saw a brother on a wetbike, pulling up to the boat, and not being involved with Ricky! I was like "where he hell is this heaven!?" I hate the streotype of brothers and sisters can't swim, but boating is an extreme rarity. Because I'm always the anomaly on the boat or jet skiing, in New York. Moved to MD, 162 miles inland..... I feel dry as a bone, the Chesapeake bay is 20miles away....but I refuse to deal with all the Brain eating bacteria, and super pollution. Ive been in some dirty bays in NY. But not like the Chesapeake! This warmed my heart...brothers boating!!

[@garyjohnson4575]

Big learning curve

[@johnnythornton624]

You, gents aren't scary; you all are cautious are respectful of safety protocols. Best wishes to the both of you!

No hate, you’ll see white kids 6, 7, 8. etc out on the water and they are like pros because, I’m assuming they have been going out for years with their parents so it’s second nature to them. It’s just awesome they get to experience these things at such a young age. Really wish more of our kids had the same opportunities.

Rickey Smiley you are the Bomb. Your BOAT is just as beautiful as your homes. You are BLESSED!

[@terrancebowins1779]

Hey Rickey, just a few nautical terms while you’re doing your thing. Starboard one word, not star board, the light water is call shoal water, you are correct stay away in your boat because of the draft meaning from the water line down how deep is your boat below the water line. Take weight of your cargo into account as well, and jet skies can zoom across shoal or shallow water because their flat bottom and boats like yours isn’t. Sail on brother, looking good. Enjoyed the video 👍👍 US Navy Retired
