Bad Saturday - mybankey - 05-18-2009
Hows it going.? I just thought I would share how my weekend went.Saturday night Jared,Steve,ans I went on Jared's air boat to go home. We were fine until, for what ever reason, we started to take on water at the front of the boat. We then sunk in the middle of the St. Johns river here in Florida. Once we got back to the small part of the boat that was still out of water, the gas started to rising up and burning our skin like fire. Steve climbed up on top, Jared and I were still in the water. Then I climbed up as best as I could to fit on top because there was really no room. We found our water box and got our cell phones out, well the water box did not work,all our cells were dead. Jared got the whistle and the light,which was some how still working. Yelled for help,blew the whistle no one came. I got pretty scared worrying about alligators and snakes, plus being hit by another boat would not be fun. A boat then went by and just waved at us not being able to see that we were under water. Finally a couple of guys saw us from our light and came over to us. Got us to shore and the next day they drug the boat out after 7 hours. I am not gonna lie, it scared the hell out of me. Here are a few pix of the boat after they got it out of the water.No more small air boats for me Tom <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

That's crazy man. I bet if it was in a swamp at night you'd feel like you were in Hatchet and really be scared. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":lol:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"laugh.gif\" />

True, but the red eyes we saw in the water made up for that fear. I guess I'm thankful for the gas leaking out, maby that helped keep them away.Tom <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Man, that must have been horrible. This is why I never set foot in or on a body of water that contains animals that will eat you. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />

But yeah man it was scary.Tom<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI'm definitely not what you'd call a thrill seeker when it comes to being within striking distance of man-eating animals. I know that there's a greater chance of being struck by lightning, but in my mind I would be the one that it happened to. I saw Jaws at a young age, and it ruined me for life! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />
