Saving the boat

Sep 04, 2009 19:51

While we were all standing there watching the storm, (I tried to take pictures) Someone noticed a boat floating by on it's own. We all pretty  much wondered who would be out there in that storm trying to sail.
Next thing I saw was T and his dad rushing to down to the dock to save the boat. It was a pretty nice boat from what I could tell, If that thing hit the rocks it would have been bad. more than likely a very expansive repair at that.

We watched as the two of them took the little put-put out and motored over to the boat. I know I was not the only confused person there when next we saw this guy in a row boat pumping away after them. I was amazed that he could keep up.
We watched at the three of them caught the boat and boarded it.

From our part we couldn't tell what was going on by T later, after he was dry told me that the guy in the row boat was the owner and he hadn't set the anchor right, so when the storm with it's strong winds pushed out of it's place.

the Storm didn't last too much longer after that. in a half an  hour the clouds had passed and we able to head back up to finish up prepping the grounds for the wedding.

the next day, When T and I went sailing out on his Father's old catamaran the boat owner came by, in his little row boat and thanked us. I guess he was lucky that the people who saw his boat were sailors themselves.
