Strange but true

[Kent]

Yesterday, Randy and I were fishing for sturgeon.  Shortly after we had released one Randy noticed my pliers floating near the boat (I have a safety float attached to them, just for that reason).  We were fishing in a whirlpool, so I wasn't immediately concerned about them floating down the river, but I didn't want to take the chance that they would somehow escape the whirlpool.  I told Randy that we needed to untie us from the rock (we were tied to a rock to secure the boat while we fished) and motor over and grab the pliers.  I turned to untie us only to notice that the rope had just lifted off of the rock and we were no longer tied to the rock.  It was as if the boat realized what had to be done and took care of it.  That is the only time the rope came off of the rock during the entire day!  Strange but true.
