unlost dogs
Greater Boston Posts: 12,553
Enjoying a lovely boat ride up to Salem, Mass., where the unlost dogs had an overnight reservation at a cool marina.
Entering harbor THUNK. :shock:
Well, that can't be good. Suddenly we aren't moving anymore. :?
And what's that oil slick behind the boat?
Call the harbormaster. Put on lifejackets. (The dogs already have theirs on.)
Can't figure out what's going on, then notice we've drifted over a lobster pot and it's tangled on the outdrive. And it's rough out here!
Mr. Unlost reaches to untangle it, drops the boat hook, falls overboard trying to catch it.
I lower the swim ladder while he's tossed around by boat wakes. He scrambles aboard.
Harbormaster arrives, tows us in.
We raise outdrive.
We have no propellers. Just an empty shaft where they used to be. :(
But... The dogs are okay, the beer was unharmed, and it's a beautiful evening here in Salem, Mass. Yes, that Salem... Of the witches.
How's your day going?

Update: just bought Mr. Unlost filet mignon (many oysters & littlenecks for me) he's putting his best face on, considering this has effectively ended the 2011 boating season.

Last time he hit a rock, the entire outdrive had to be replaced.

Dealer hauled the boat out this afternoon.
Need to replace the whole outdrive. About $10K.
That was one expensive rock.
