Good one OkieDon. Brought back some old memories. My late husband launched into the Colorado River in California years ago and forgot to hang onto the rope. I did the swimming and caught it about 100 yards down river. My dad also did a good one. He launched his Oldsmobile and boat into same river. Now that was more of a drying out situation. Took all week to dry out the interior of that Cutlass. Rigrunner launched and forgot the plug but I guess everyone has done that.
