This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you live near a large body of water, activities on the water are fairly common. From wakeboarding to fishing to just sitting out on a boat in the middle of the ocean or lake to have a picnic in the sun, boats are pretty ubiquitous culturally around waterfront areas. It's like asking why people own beach towels or swimsuits when they live near a beach.
