Well got the Boat running right.Yesterday had it loaded up to go to Pomme De Terre Lake.Weatherman was calling for warm,but no rain.But he said it was going to be windy.My wife asked if this was going to be a problem? Hey I have my Boat loaded I an't going to let a little wind stop me.

Get there about daylight,the Lake is flat no wind.Boat is running good,go on up to a cove throwed some Jugs out.Fish with Jig along the bank,catch a few small Bass.Decide to go on up tie up to a tree and catch some Bluegill.

The it started blowing.I'm thinking this could be a problem.I have to get them Jugs.But first I have to get away from the rocks along the bank.Oh this is going to be good.I untie the Boat it immediately goes between two rocks.Ok how am I going to get out of this? I start the Boat,shoved away from the rock that was by the Prop,back out of there.Well that went ok.

Then I go to get my Jugs.Game plan was to get on the upwind side of them grab them before they went under the Boat.Well the Boat was a rocking,had to make two are three tries to get them and keep from washing up on the bank.Finally got them all in.

Oh but the fun is not over.I get up to the Ramp.Tie up to some bushes on the bank,go up get the Pickup,back it down there.Well the wind had blowed my Boat loose,pulled the bushes out,blowed my Boat up on the Ramp.Thought ok I'll use the Trolling Motor to pull off.No go!Finally I get out push the Boat around where the Motor should be ok.Finally get it pulled out of there and loaded.

So what did I learn first don't go by yourself if its windy.Do not put out Jugs if its windy.Really best to take someone with you.
