[size 1]Not so, I was a lot frazzled.[pirate] Never fun to have boat problems, combined with lots of wind in the marina, the chance of ligtning moving in, combined with the marina full of boats, and then trying to trailer a boat for the first time. I didn't realize that the fun was just beginning until the main outboard died and we were being blown towards the rocks. Fortunately, the trolling motor fired up, but trolling motors are no substitute for the main outboard when attempting to trailer the boat. Billy was kind enough to go wading to get the boat lined up to get it on the trailer. It was a pleasure meeting you Bigcat, sorry that I couldn't be a little more sociable and I do appreciate your kind offer to help any way that you could.[/size]
