No I stayed dry (I'm selfish behind the curtains and I'm the capt. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Actually to cross according to the suggested route,because of the shallow areas, it is a 4 leg deal (approx 19 miles if I recall)heading in differnt directions of which only one of them we had a following sea which gave us some relief. No of the legs is directly east/west. I would have never expected the twisting and slapping off the quarters those waves gave. I was really supprised how they would build so close together and about 1 out of 4 or so would be the 4'range. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

I guess you being in those lakes have experience what I'm trying to explain. It was dirty muddy water with water hyaciens (sp) floating everywhere which I tried to affoid so as not to get sucked in the impeller! coupled with old timber pieces that would difinately do the number on the prop. I wondered how those bass boat dudes with the little boat sides and big HP survive?

I couldn't back off and not go as I had prepaid non-refunable deposits on the other side. I guess I should have put her up on the trailer and towed it over but how else do you gain such life experiences???

PS The dry wall bucket for a Porti-Potti used by the ladies was another story [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] He! He!
