Had a 10' flat bottom, went fishing with grandson.
Having two back back operations, used a lawn chair for support

We fished well over 2 hours and I was flipping the baits around pretty good, over the
left shoulder, right shoulder, you name it.

Getting over confident flipped one time to many.
Went over board and fell straight down chair, pole, glasses and all.
Went down about 6 foot deep, not knowning which way was up
keep swimming deeper........until it dawn on me that I had life vest
on and let it do its job.

Grandson claims I pop up like a bobber.
Try as both of could could not get back into the boat without
tipping it over.

Across the lake a patoon boat say our troubles and came over
to help. Getting into the patoon boat was just as bad.
It took every ounce of energy before I got onto the patoon
boat, with the owner standing on the other corner to keep it
from tipping.

Picture just before I fell in.
