I have told stories of Dad and Sam. HERE's one of me. It was going to be a warm day in Feb. so I decided to go fishing at a small lake near home. My brother and Sam was going to meet me later in the day so I was by myself. I get to the ramp to launch my bass boat, I let the winch out so I could float the boat and pull it back to the ramp. As the boat hit the end of the strap the strap broke. I jumped out of the truck, emptied my pockets and dove into the 35 degree water. I managed to get the boat to land but now I'm wet. I stripped off down to my birthday suit and put my insulated coveralls on. Later that day when my brother and Sam showed up they ask why I was in my coveralls as it was 70 degrees. That was all that was between me and my birthday suit.
glad you got the boat back
