Sinking feeling at CFW

[BrianS]

For those of you who don't know me, i own the 21' Daytona (jet) that came pretty close to sinking at CFW Saturday. I'm writing this little note to thank, and extend my deepest gratitude to all those who helped me once i made it to shore. Unfortunatly i did'nt really know many of you, and you all helped a fellow boater in need. Just goes to show, it does'nt matter what kind of boat you own, whether it be v-drive, jet, o/b, or i/o, the boating community has some of the kindest hearted people out there. I'm happy to say my boat was running with no problems within the next hour thanks to Jock, Dave C, the Lema Bros, and Mark Gaveron. Too bad i could'nt find those special hook bolts for the inspection cover, otherwise it would have been on the water again that same night.
Once again, thank you all very, very much. You all know who you are. :D

I have some of it on video Brian. My son was helping bail out water. I'm just glad with quick thinking you got it to shore. Could have been alot worse.

You sunk the boat???
I gotta get the gossip from Ron!! :D
Glad your okay ;)

You should be very proud of your son Kinsvater, and proud of yourself for the way you've raised him. After i got to thinking about it later on, i realized just how lucky i really was. If that happened out in the middle of Berryessa or some other big lake, it would have been bye, bye.

Thanks. But you know 99.9% of the time everyone will lend a helping hand when needed. And yes you were damn lucky you were only about 50 yrds when you caught it.

Should have just asked around for K-Flat. We had the easyup next to sangster and were camped about 20 yrds from that.

Sim,
It was great to hear it fire up on the trailer, nothing hurt. Probably caused by building up too much compression in the Flux Capacitor due to the increased boost from your pulley change. That pump just blew it's top! (inside joke).
