I figured this would be a good place to formally introduce myself. What better way than to tell everyone how dumb I am. I was invited to spend a long weekend with my buddy's family and some friends on lake Cumberland. We were set for a great time. 60' rented houseboat, 22' Four Winns open bow and a large Sea Doo. We launched and spent about an hour looking for a quiet inlet that we could claim as our own for a while. We found a beautiful cove and my buddy's uncle gave me the thumbs up and proceeded to toss a line to me so I could tie up to the houseboat. It fell a bit short, hit the water right in front of me and before I could hit the kill switch, about 15' of line got sucked into the pump case and stalled the engine. Needless to say, we had to flip the Sea Doo over and here I am hanging off the nose while my buddy is digging through the ride plate, cutting out the nylon with a steak knife. He's p!ssed and I'm embarrassed. Next thing I know I can smell gasoline, I look around and there's a pool of gas spreading around us. After all is said and done, we both have chemical burns on our upper torsos and proceeded to medicate ourselves with beer.
I'm still not sure who's fault it was, you guys can probably figure it out. Anywho, nice to meet y'all!
