Went out to Willard tonight with petty4life and his son Jaden. We were having a nice time until the 40MPH winds kicked up and just about swamped us! We ended up beaching the boat on the north dike, and then we limped back towards the marina. It took us a while, but we finally got her back on the trailer. It was a painful lesson learned today. We lost one side planer, and busted the prop on the electric while trying to get in. It pretty much sucked out there tonight. Willard is not a fun place to be in 4' swells. Mental note to self...don't go out there if it looks even a little stormy!
