You're right JD - it was some fun and they did a good job. That's a great cause - an agegroup of kids that can really appreciate and be helped by our donations!
The SCAC is a great group.
JD - On our sunset ride back to Loughman, you gave us a scare and a half! We looked back and saw that you & stan were stopped - It looked like you had stopped to get out your lights.
But when Cntry and I got back to your boat, it sent shivers down our spines to see it drifting in the river without a soul aboard. :shock: I feared the worst for a monent until we saw you in the water waving an "alright" sign over by Stan's boat.
Dang fence posts.
Cntry is quite the pilot and when he said for me to do a Cap'n Ron it was clear. I jumped over to your boat, and fired it up. (after visually checking the cage, rudders, and prop) I reached for the rudder stick and IT WAS GONE! Turn off the motor and found the stick. it was bent down over the side of the boat. I carefully bent it back up, felt it crack some more, and nursed your boat back to where cntry, Stan & Cheryl were getting you dressed in dry clothes.
JD - We're so glad you were not injured!!!
We fixed the stick without incident and proceeded to get lost in the maze area between Baxter point and Orange Mound.
Once back at loughman we had a small fire to warm up a wet JD on a cool november night as the band played on.
A beautiful day and a beautiful night.
