Boats are for sissies! achievement

This is a proposal made on 2009-04-10. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:Boats are for sissies! achievement, indicating your thoughts on the proposal, including:

• Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
• Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
• Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
• Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

Only the bravest of heart can claim this achievement, by reaching a water geohash without a watercraft. Waterskiing, or otherwise being attached to a boat, also disqualifies you. If you start from a boat, you must swim (or at least drift and tread water) for at least 10x the margin or error of your GPS device. The geohasher may wear a life jacket or other safety floatation device if the body of water justifies it.
