Afternoon all y'all, So another one of those dumb as- things that happen to me..

Decided it was time to take the boat back to the dock, Miss Sharon and I loaded up and headed north, go to the Marina, and it was busy, but ok, dock was back in place, even better, well I have never unloaded this boat so a few things to get accustomed to, one was the winch, My old winch was electric, this one is the good ole hand crank. well backed into the lake, (like always), going to hook the rope on the front winch hook, but could not reach it cause the boat was to close to the front, well I will giggle it a bit and get the clevis hooked on, NOPE, wiggled the boat and that sucker slid righ down the bunk boards, out it goes into the cove, no rope, big dumb looking guy staring at his boat doing the drift away thang... yep 15 mph winds and poof boat headed out to sea,,,, well this guy on a pontoon was watching me, I said would you help an old man retrieve his boat, sure He comes gets me, I crawl on the pontoon, and away we go, get to my boat, he pulls up along side, down wind, I climb over the rail, he grabs me to keep me from falling overboard... get to said drifting boat ,,,, WOW, 67 years 8 months, 3 days and I never had a boat slip off the bunks and drift away, I thanked him, started up the motor, moved to the dock, picked up miss sharon, took a short ride, put said boat on the lift, came home. Dang lucky someone was close,,,, Mr. Man whoever you are Thanks a lot, you saved my day.
