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=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /><img src=\"http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa52/mybankey/100_4780.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa52/mybankey/100_4801.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa52/mybankey/100_4800.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa52/mybankey/100_4799.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
