Much, much thanks to the guys who saved my friends life!Late Saturday night my friends were making a run back to the ramp,boat suddenly made a hard right turn,ejected both guys.Driver couldn't save the passenger and starting screaming for help.Thank God for the one boat left at the ramp.This guy hears the screaming,and finds my buddies.No FLASHLIGHT,he caught the reflection of a hoodie floating, BY MOONLIGHT! Jerks my buddy (in one motion) into his boat,they say he was white as a ghost with no pulse. The gentleman administered c.p.r and my boy was back!!!!Off to the e.r but still he was alive.Thank you guys so much!!The world needs more people like this!Lesson to be learned.......wear the f'n life jacket people.

They didn't hit one of those buoys out there did they?
I was out there a few weeks ago for the first time since may and nocticed they put out a bunch of new buoys, some at the mouth of the cove leading to the boat ramp.
They are hard to see and I had to shut the boat down to figure out where they were.
Glad everything turned out ok concedering.

Im glad to hear that everyone is ok. One that does great things will have great things done for them. Thats a definite fact. I hope this stuff spreads like a desease through everyone. We never should walk away or turn our head. First instinct should be to help anyway we can. My.02

Those bouies are for sure NOT in a good spot and not marked on GPS. I have to slow down every time I get to the mouth there and idle til I get past them.
