My name is Wayne. I own Electric International. I am just me myself and I Company. Me friends and family have been to the Glen many times. About five years ago my motor blew and have not been able to get it fixed, for many reasons. Wife, kids and me miss the Glenn allot. Anyway, we had allot of good times at the glen, and just running up and down the river. I was with Mike a friend one night, we launched his boat and went to Black Water In just for a boat ride and something to eat. Coming back from Black Water In the outboard literally grinded to a stop, frozen solid ... lol what a night. So at dusk we tied up to the buoy #20 between Black Water In and the ramp at 40. I was totally surprised at the amount of spiders I scrapped off that buoy. After tying up to the buoy, the cell phone would catch a signal, long enough to allow the person to answer then disconnect. Out of the bits an pieces of conversation we were able to get to them from the phone dropping calls so many times, my wife at the other end of those broken conversations pieced it together and called in the Marine patrol. @ 1030PM we saw a Marine patrol coming but turned down another channel before he reached us. NEVER saw us and we never saw lights again. In the mean time I had to take more oil from the engine to put on me. Those mosquitoes were trying to get through it. So we sit back again listening to all of the bugs having their party. My gash what a party they were having. You could not here yourself think. Now those gators … lololo they just stayed around the boat looking up at us. As my friend propped his feet up on the side of the boat, I asked him if he was planning on feeding those gators, he looked at me and said no why. I looked at his feet and then is when he got it. At 1230AM we saw a large Cabin Cruiser coming up river so we tried flagging them down. The only way they saw us is because they were using a big spot light moving back and forth trying not to run into things. I found out later why … lololo Yep you guessed it HAMMERED and the party was still going. We met a really nice family that morning. They through us a rope and pulled us to 40. From the little bit of time I spent with them I would have loved getting to know them. They reminded me of the family I once had. They had things going on in life, but NEW how to party ……………… Great people Now for the kicker … You know that little dog leg curve 400 feet just north of the dock at 40 … lolo A marine patrol pull up to us and asked me if I was that boat stuck on a buoy #20 … lololo I said yes. He said well I was coming for you …… go figure ha |
