I have had so many scary moments its hard to list them all. I was fishing sacalait with my father in whisky bay and had a branch fall out of a tree that landed right behind me and dented the aluminum on the boat. When I was twelve I got thrown out of my fathers boat in the middle of Dubassion lake. My fault my father went to get truck and I was suppose to stay at the boat launch and put boat on trailer. I instead went out to the middle of the lake and proceded to do donuts. All was fine until I found myself in the water and the boat going around me in circles with a thirty horse Johnson on it and a full tank of gas. I had to swim out of its path and to safety. Another time I was working for a survey company and we were down the Mississippi river out of venice in a boat 23 feet long and we got caught between two super tankers with an engine alarm going off and we were taking on water. Needless to say we kept running that motor even with the high heat alarm sounding. I could have kissed the land at cypress cove when we got back there after that incedent.
