HMO: More Fun On Small Boats

HMOffsuite: I watch literally hundreds of boats cruise by my place every weekend. (Hagadone’s house is a big attraction and a must see for boaters). In watching the boats go by, I have made an observation. The smaller the boat, the more people will be in it and having the most fun. Small boats usually are loaded to the max, have inner tubes towing behind and wake boards hanging out the boat. Often, much laughter comes from those boats. However, a large yacht will go by, the man up on top driving and the wife on the deck below, reading a book. They aren’t even talking to each other. Conclusion: The smaller the boat, the more fun is being had.

Question: Are you surprised by HMOffsuite’s observations and conclusions re: the connection between the size of the boat and the fun taking place onboard?
