A day at the office....

Why people are compelled to go out in Feb., in freezing temps, honking every bit of 35-40kts is beyond me. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Spent 8 hrs. out in this today. Thought the guy was going to go into hypothermia by the time we got him in.

Wow, thats some dedication. Can't imagine the reason for putting yourself in a position like that. Of course I see this kind of crap every third day. Today sunny 58 degrees and the tennis courts of Sun City (Heavens Gate) are packed. 62 year old male drops dead of a heart attack while walking back to serve. Previous history? Yep.
Fortunately a retired doctor begins CPR until the defibrillator arrives. Shocks him and he's breathing by the time the first ambulance arrives 4 minutes later. (One minute before the national average). Guy goes to the hospital telling the ER doc he had been doing CPR for half an hour. Whatever dude.

Nice work Finster. Part II.

Mike, I think I'm more dedicated to making a living more than anything else. It was accually nice to get out on the water, though I really could have done without the wind and cold.

Scott, that was more towards the inlet. We did turn and go up the river to Chestnut Neck. It was pretty cool we were behind a line of Vike's on their way back to the plant from the boats show.

Was this guy out for a "sail" or was he moving the boat from A-to-B?

Idiot.

Finster · #7 02-07-2006, 11:26 AM

The guy just bought the boat and was trying to get it home.

I don't know .... besides the risking others lives to save you a$$, i do not see a problem with it [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Besides if it was me, the trolling lines would still be out! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think if I lived as close to the Viking factory as you, they'd need security to have me removed from the premises. I'd be over there all the time drooling on the boats. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
