Default Embarrassing en espanol

I have had a permanent threaded plug in my Seafari since it was docked behind my former home in Palm City. However, my most memorable plug left out event was when I was a 16 year old high school student and had a Guatemalan exchange student staying with my family. The two of us drove to the White City Park on the north fork of the St Lucie River. I launched and left him holding the lines to my 14’ Lyman. As I returned from parking the truck and trailer, he was pointing excitedly downward yelling, “EL AQUA, EL AGUA”! I am thinking of course el aqua there is a lot of it here until I realized he was pointing into the boat. Fortunately when I jumped in the boat didn’t swamp. No bilge pump as I recall. Stick the plug in until underway, then pull it back out. Kind of a funny story through the years.
