Yes, saw that before. It just reinforces that most boaters are willing to help in emergencies. I know because I have been at both ends of the spectrum while boating.

Touching, thoroughly touching. Thank you for sharing. =D>

I know that I couldn't do much with my 12' tin in a situation like 9/11, but I do feel like part of a bigger family now that I'm the 'Captain' of my own vessel. Part of that feeling comes from this TB home of like-minded friends, part of it comes from the responsibility that each and every boat owner should realize they shoulder when on the water.

I believe the author of the article, Katharine Herrup, put it quite well, "it was the ethic code of the seas that made the boat rescues such a success". I hope that each and every boater, not just proactive boating community members like ourselves, realizes that this "code" applies to big vessels that can make a huge difference in a mass evacuation, and small vessels like our tins that can easily save a stranded boater or swimmer.

Of course....I take pictures of all my food before I eat it. Doesn't everyone?

The simple version for work:
4 slices of brauschweiger
1 slice of swiss
1 slice of colby jack
on 2 slices of potato bread.

(normally add dill pickles, but was in a hurry to get out the door today)

It is official, I am through with eating EVER again, A sudden case of severe anorexia sounds great to me right about now!!! Uggggh

 

[nomowork]

Two Christmas dinners in two nights. I've developed a new waist line! One more to go on New Year's Day then I have five days to shape up for a doctor's office check up! :shock:

 

[fender66]

Food and TV....I can't believe I've devoured so much of both in the past few days. Hope I can get off my butt in the morning and do something productive!
Dang...I'm being lazy!

 

[freetofish]

Just incase anyone was concerned that whole anorexia thing never happened. How can it with food like this!
