Last weekend i was down at my friends cabin having a good ole time.
We heard that the trout were biting on the river and I'm a sucker for trout so we loaded up the boat.
Current Mood
Everything was going smoothly the motor started on the first pull, the tackle boxes were full of lures that couldn't go wrong.
Mood is still
So we get out into the current and turn to go up river a ways and i look back at my friend Dan whos driving (same guy from the canada post) just in time to see the motor jump off the boat, do a half circle on its own and sink like a rock.
current face.
We all just kind of looked at each other for a few minutes with faces like "did that just happen?"
Now this is bad for two reasons
A) We don't have a paddle because its safely in the garage where we put it so we wouldn't forget it.
B) this was dan's grandfathers motor
Current mood:
So we're drifting towards the bay of greenbay with no paddle, what to do...At this point we broke one of the seats in half and used it to paddle to shore. then we had to drag the boat back about 300 yds upstream to his cabin.
Now is the hard part, We need to call his dad and explain what just happen to his 3 horse antique motor.
Current mood:
so we get john on the phone and John was not happy.
his mood:
good thing he is currently in California where he couldn't throw us in the river.
Well a diver is currently searching for the motor and if and when it can't be found I know what the four of us are spending a chunk of our tax returns on.
The worst part...Never did get to go trout fishing
