Last year, I'm pulling up to the gas dock. I have the 7 year old in the boat /w me. I jump out of the boat onto the dock, and tell him to throw me the rope (you know, the one tied around the cleat?)<br /><br />He throws me the OTHER rope .. you know .. the one not tied to anything. So there's the boat, and 7 year old, floating away from the gas dock. <br /><br />In the water I go, dry clothes and all. Woohoo!<br /><br />He can't figure out the ladder (it's a hook on the side) so I get to climb up the (not running) outboard.
