Stranded at Sea! Found by Pirates.

Yesterday was exciting we were stranded and adrift.

The day started with a nice picnic planned on my father-in-laws boat.
Up river we went, the picnic was fun.
Down river was the problem.
As we were heading back the gears piled up and that was that. Have you ever tried to paddle a cabin cruiser? – that ain’t happen’in.
So a call on the radio brought Captain Diem to the rescue. This was funny as he was flying the Jolly Rogers on his sail boat. Irish was very impressed that it was a pirate captain.

The long and short of it was we flagged down a power boat and got towed 10 or so miles down river to the marina and pulled the boat out.

There was an up side to things. My father-in-law had his 2 son-in-laws to help him pull the boat out. It is definitely fall here, getting cold and it was time to pull the boat for the season.
