katy, I took a tow from a boat load of those guys.

The skipper knew his stuff somewhat. The rest
were keystone cops. I could not believe they were
wearing those extra big heavy lifejackets on a hot
flat calm day. It was hilarious. One of them kept
pointed to me and telling me to put on my lifejacket.
I ignored him. But it was the first clue to making me
nervous. I think I told the story earlier. They nearly
stove the side of my boat in.
