Thats why I pulled up by the beach on the north side on Keywadin (almost where the no wake zome starts). I didn't want to have to deal with all that crap. I just walked down the beach with a cooler.....

John,

To pull a 38 Special down that fast with that much force, I'm surprised the CC couldn't stop it in time. Must have been a strange feeling to be on that boat when it was getting pulled down...

Craig,
When the CC got close to the anchor line he gunned it to try and avoid it which just amplified the effect. when the 38 bobbed back up after the initial pull it nearly lifted the rear end of the CC out of the water.

Bob, I did not have a camera handy at the time but I can say that the last time I saw Nate he appeared to be having quite the time. I think this icon might describe it best

I don't think there was any way possible you could have seen me, there had to be a couple hundred boats in between yours and mine. I did see your boat as I was walking around but there was no way I could get to it from shore.

John,
Do you build swim platforms? Or just repair?
