Yeah, I'm going to swap out the lightweight Danforth and put the river anchor in the bow storage locker.

Sooo You rnext job is to bust out the scuba gear and find your line for the buoy? Hope you have a dry suit!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I see some good dents under the gas can.  You almost got a new boat out of the deal.  My friends did the same during a wind storm, but the sea sport didn't stand a chance with the rocks.  His boat was busted up really bad.
Cut em!

Yes, I've got a dry suit, however the buoy did not break off.  I looked at it today and the buoy ring is still there.  The original weld is broken (3/32" gap) but I don't know how my spring clip could have worked through it without leaving it stretched.  Maybe my clip caught on the rope or something and opened up?

I see some good dents under the gas can.  You almost got a new boat out of the deal.  My friends did the same during a wind storm, but the sea sport didn't stand a chance with the rocks.  His boat was busted up really bad.

The dents were preexisting to this incident.   :rolleyes:  I use that boat hard in all weather conditions, docks and trailers are often unforgiving.  I've put 14,650 miles on that thing in the last 4 1/2 years.  :yike:  Sea Sports are nice, but I have to often beach the boat, intentionally, and that really eats up keels as evidenced on my Trophy.  I wouldn't buy anything but an aluminum boat for out here.

Wish I had left the motor down, I've never really liked that Honda... and it is insured.   ;)
