Scariest boat ride!

Scariest boat ride!
Just got back from Jaxvill Poker run. We found a crane to load us into the water. The current is crazy in the river, the boat drift about 10 mph. When they were about to lift the boat they told me I had to get into the boat so I could start the motors because as soon as we unhook the strapt the boat will be on the rocks. Thinking of my luck, I thought this may be a good idea.
Once they lifted the boat they had t lift it high enough to clear the barge. I would say at least 40 feet in the air. While raising the boat it was swaying back and forth very bad. The straps we making popping and creeking noises. I again thought about my luck and realized this may not have been my best option. I couldn't help remembering the tag on the straps that said "Made in Tawain" and how my life is in the hnds of a sewer that makes $2.00 a week. Here are a few of the photos from the boat.
