Stranded @ McAlpine lower

Man the gas fitting on my 40hp Jonhson broke today ...good thing I had 3 batteries to get back to New Albany

Gulp, sounds like the day I had a few weeks ago except I got some help 50 yards from the ramp.

Plus lost that anchor ...I tried to put a chain on it but the C link I bought was too big to put in the anchor eyelet do I tied the rope back on .I itested the know but the 2nd time I dropped it the know came loose :(

Look at the bright side: At least you didn't have some moron fall out of his seat and smash the deck of your boat.:D

Jay next time your down on a Fri. I'll be more than happy to show you how to get up there...Been up there the last 3 or 4 weeks no problem. Chuck

Can I tag along too? We'll make a flotilla out of it!!

I was checked by the game wardens 2 years ago when the lower was low and even they would not venture to the upper.:eek:

I carry an orange plastic flag in my boat for this reason. Waving the flag instead of waving your arms would show distress in need of help. They are only a couple of bucks.

Or at least keep one of those old orange life vests and a paddle in your boat...has the same effect only may be a little more noticeable.
