Boat Diving Boards and Being Bored

Why are you reading this article?

It could be simply because you are bored out of your mind. We are right in the middle of winter and the closest you can get to boating is reading boating articles, which you are doing right now. The problem is that as soon as you finish this article, the boredom creeps in again and you sink further into despair.

Well, we are here to help.

We get it, you spend the spring, summer and fall months boating whenever you have a chance and that keeps you really busy. But come winter, you can’t go boating and there is a huge void in your life that needs to be filled. So Lillipad Marine, your source for boat diving boards, offers things to do when you are bored.

Invent a Weird Twitch

Invent a weird twitch, like flicking your head irregularly, and try it out while you are at the grocery store or mall. It’s important to keep a straight face while doing this.

Find a Hobby

Learn to crochet, paint or work with metal, all of which will help keep you from getting bored. Learning a new hobby gives you something interesting to talk about, builds self-esteem and keeps your mind off the fact you can’t go boating.

Volunteer

Giving back to the community not only helps others and makes you feel good about yourself, but it also kills time that would have been spent boating had the weather been better.

Make Spaceship Noises

Go to the grocery store or bank or anywhere with automatic doors and make whooshing noises you here in science fiction movies when spaceship doors are opening and closing.

Read a Book

Reading a book is a fine way to both gain some knowledge and entertain yourself while killing time. You could grab a few of the classics like Watership Down, The Great Gatsby and 1984 or you could hunker down with a collection of works from your favorite boating magazines.

Walk Your Dog

Walking the dog is great therapy when you are bored. It is also a great way to get out of the house, get some fresh air and burn a few calories, all of which you need to do. If you don’t have a dog, borrow the neighbor’s Chihuahua.

Learn About Wombats

Wombats are muscular, short-legged creatures that are native to Australia. We gave you a good start, find out more about wombats to cure your boredom.

Write a Letter

Snail mail is still a thing for some people. Think about someone you know, like a grandmother or an aunt, who would love to receive a letter from you. If you can’t think about what to write, jot down some of the adventures you had while boating this last year. Lie if you have to.
