What goes around,comes around

[thad daly]

Last summer coming up Cow Bayou to Bridge City Tx slow down to pass a drifting PWC. Noticed the young girl was waving her arms franticly and crying.
Eased over, she was out of gas, she she had been drifting for a hour or more and all the other boats just ran by, she was afraid she would be swamped.
Took her on board, put son on her PWC towed to her home which was about three miles up and on the bayou.
All ended happily.
This past weekend, close to the same place, engine shut off, look at son get a "Duh!" and guilty look. So while chewing on him for not filling the tank as told here come a PWC. And who's on it? The young girl from last summer. My son gets behind her and they go for gas. Old Dad is left drifting-- fishing.
They come back all giggles and grins common to teen agers. Now son's bugging me about when are we going to fish Cow Bayou again.

Hmmm. "Whatsoever ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Sounds like you (or your son) reaped a hot harvest. 8)

Funny how things work out some times, I am guessing the "Chewing" your youngen took for lack-o-responsibity was worth it to him in the end. If nothing else it is good to hear a positive PWC story for a change.

Nice to hear that folks are helping each other.
I think we all need to help as much as we can, if for nothing more, it makes you feel good.

Nice story and even nicer that it was a pwc, they don't get much good press these days. Over in the UK the Lifeboat service actually use a few of them on the surf beaches so I guess they can't be all bad...................8)

I think you maybe better get some harnesses for keeping your son onboard the boat in future though

Thad, you didn't see your son pull the killswitch when he spotted the girl again, did you? Ts ts.....the obvious always escapes us oldies, doesn't it ?
