A Helping Hand

[Chefdave]

I have been a good samaritan, and have also been on the recieving end of good deeds. Three years ago, while running up the chute at Ky lake, my jack plate broke, and caused my motor ro rock back into the water. Thank heavens the bottom bolts held or I'd have lost the whole thing. Not one but 2 boats showed up to lend a hand. One pair of guys took my buddy mike to Ky. dam to pick up the truck and trailer, the other pair towed me and my boat to the Moors, which was closer. Once we got to the mores, a guy helped me winch my motor up, remove the jack plate and remount the motor to the transom, then helped me rid the cylanders of water. Got the motor running and I drove home to Louisville, thanking my lucky stars the whole way. I couldn't thank those guys enough. So whenever I see anyone in a bind weather it be big or small, I always try to help. I owe it to the good people who were kind enough to help me.

I cant count the numerous times I have wrangled stray boats floating away from docks from careless tying, I was once offered 50 bucks for bringing a pontoon back to an old ladies dock. I re-assured her that she could save my bacon one day and went on my way. Its a secret bond us water people share, we look out for our own.
