Hello All
Many of you won't remember but I availed myself of the considerable talent here last spring and was able to resurrect a very old boat and motor. It was a dream come true for me and I've had many enjoyable times on Lake Wylie since around last June.
Tuesday however was quite something again.
An 80-year-old man hit me going roughly 70MPH with his bass boat and nearly killed me. He definetly did a number on my boat. Even though the guy was ejected from his boat he and I are both alright. He at least had his kill-switch lanyard attached so the engine quit when he punched out. And, I didn't sink into the 42 degree water either.
Unbelievable to say the least - I feel very lucky, angry, and amazed all at the same time.
PS That black mark on my back is from the rub rail on the starboard side of his bass boat!!!
Be careful out ther folks, one never knows...
