Very Lucky is right but you would think as far up on dry land someone was moving at a pretty good pace in the dark. I wished you would have video it getting back in the water

Stuff happens at night even when one knows the body of water. I took this picture at Guntersville a few years ago. Another island deal.

c'mon man, you can't come on here and tell the haters that it was simply a mistake...�.
Expand your story - it was two drunk guys trying to get their boat to 109mph , again, with no life jackets, no kill swithches and two girls flashed their boobs at them and they lost focus for a moment, jumping two wave runners, three pontoon boats before they ended up landing on Gilligans Island...�

Serioiusly, glad they were ok!

Does the fact that you say you have done that 2-3 times have anything to do with your name? Were you reaching for the Cheetos? grin

Never thought much about running at night with a good GPS and knowledge of the lake until you run up on someone dead in the water with no lights. Slow down.
