Well this morning got up put the boat in was headin out ready for a good day. Well good it wasnt, see theres grass flats about a half mile off shore (Lake Okeechobee) and about 25 yards running parelell to the grass thers thick patches of sawgrass,and a BIG sand bar on the other side of the saw grass. So I was wanting to fish the saw grass because there was wind 5-10, so i kill the motor and put the trolling motor down only to have it completely die no constant, no mometary, nothin. So now im even with the saw grass and wouldnt you know it the wind picks up to 35 mph gusts out of nowhere next thing i know I meet Mr. Sandbar . Well after trying for awhile to push the boat off enough to get the prop in the water i finally gave in and called a airboat tour place to come pull me out. Then the airboat guy decides to pull me about 500 yards past where I needed to go got thoughly soaked, by the way it was abnormally chilly today, so me and the guy at the marina who supposedly fixed the switch on the trolling motor about a week ago had some words today. But ive learned being a grunt in the Marines, correct me if im wrong imonebad, just when you think things are at worst, remember it can always be worse.... hell it couldve rained today. Later Dave
