Boats, they are the one thing I loved when I first saw them. When I was old enough I was compelled to be behind the throttle(for my age it is a throttle) of a aluminum motor boat.
When I was almost turning eight I started studying for my boat licence test. I was nervous because if I didn't get I would be so upset. When the day of the exam came I was ready to succeed but in the pit of my stomach I had a feeling I knew I might not get it, but When I was called to right the exam I was ready. It started off with a few questions that were basically all common sense. Then the questions started getting more difficult, they were questions about if you pass a red buoy do you go left or right? But it depends on whether you are going up stream or down stream. Other questions were like who has the righter way if you are on the green side of the nose lights? nose lights are the lights at the tip of the boat that are red and green.
Two weeks later after the test they sent the results to my cottage, so the weekend after school we went up to my cottage. When we got there I saw that under the door was a yellow envelope instantly I knew what it was, before my dad could open the door I ripped open the envelope to find a platinum licence engraved saying Jordan Furlong licenced operator. I was so happy, finally, I got my licence. My dad still reminds me that it is amazing I got it when I was eight years old.
The weekend after I got my licence I went up to the cottage again. When I got there I saw a trailer that said Paris Marine Boating Company (PM BC). There was a guy standing by the trailer and he pulled the cover off of a new 9.9(power of the engine), blue, and shiny Fisherman Aluminum Motor boat. The minute I saw it I instantly wanted to take it for ride and I did. From then on the one thing for me to get away is get into my tinny (that's slang for Motor boat that is aluminum) and drive off.
