Running Rivers, Building Cabins
You know, my normal recreational stuff!
Last Thursday, my son didn't exactly follow me and 'rocked out' with his boat; meaning he hit bottom and he chopped power and was promptly stuck. He did the right thing by killing the engine so that he didn't throw a bunch of gravel through his jet unit and damage it. Where he hit was about 30' downstream and it was about 2" deep.
He's still learning how to read the water, and this incident was a great learning opportunity for him. If he'd been 6 feet further to his right, he'd have been just fine.
Anyway, since this happened at the cabin instead of miles away somewhere else, we simply unloaded the boat and when it was empty it floated off the bottom and no harm was done. He had about 2,000 pounds in there at the time.
