Due to their buoyancy, boats are world-renowned for their wave-hopping excursions and for their ferocious agility battles with the Dead Sea. Take a float on the favored competitor with today's Groupon: for $15, you get two tickets to a narrated cruise or cocktail cruise aboard the Chautauqua Belle (up to a $30 value). Boats are scheduled for pickups in Mayville and near the Bell Tower at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua. The Groupon does not cover any entry fees associated with the Chautauqua Institution. This Groupon expires on August 31.
One of the largest vessels on Chautauqua Lake, the two-tiered Chautauqua Belle steamboat allows riders to soak in spectacular views of the lake scenery with an old-fashioned charm. With the narrated cruise, seafarers embark on a 105-minute tour that educates on the history of Chautauqua, from the area’s indigenous natives to the time President McKinley jet-skied on the lake. The evening cocktail cruise celebrates the last glimmers of sunlight while riders sip on beer ($3–$5) or wine ($6) from the full-service cash bar. Once docking upon the shores of the Chautauqua Institution, guests can explore the community’s cultural programs and events as long as they already have a gate pass (guests will not be allowed off the gangway at the Institution stop without a gate pass; entry is free on Sundays). Tours leave throughout the day; check the schedule to find the best time for an aquatic jaunt.

Groupon Guide to: Carrying the Olympic Torch
Every few years, the world’s greatest athletes are shipped to a city so they can watch the running of the Olympic torch together. If your application essay is good enough to get you on the torch team, make sure the run goes smoothly with this troubleshooting guide:
Problem: The flame goes out.
Solution: Don't panic—verify that the flame is actually out by kissing it. If it is, simply relight the ceremonial flame by throwing the torch toward the sun.
Problem: Vultures are hovering around the flame, mistaking it for a wounded fox.
Solution: Keep running. As long as the flame moves violently in the wind, the vultures will think the fox is still alive and eventually return to overlooking the local newspaper printing press.
Problem: You constantly feel numb after the torch relay.
Solution: Try your best to get by. Like making a half-court shot or victoriously commanding the animal kingdom in a battle, the experience of carrying the torch makes normal life seem futile. The feeling never goes away, so it's best to distract yourself with mindless hobbies such as exercising or raising children.
