Thank God for Fishermen!!!

So the other day I was asked to go out on the river with my friend Jimmy on a boat ride! Sweet right!?? I grew up on lake erie and I never get to go out on the water in Nashville so I was psyched!!  We got the boat, fueled up, picked up a six pack of Corona and went off for the perfect day!!  

And it was so perfect! Springtime in Nashville, 79 degrees out, perfect!  We drove around the cumberland for a while, docked for dinner, ate some catfish, and then decided we should head back because it was getting dark and Jimmy forgot his spotlight.  

So about ten minutes away from where we put in.......

the boat dies. 

Out of nowhere.  I was like uh....what now?

Jimmy couldn't figure out what was wrong but the engine was smoking up a storm... so we decided to paddle!

But... we only had one paddle... So I used a water-ski!!  We paddled for about fifteen minutes but unfortunately the wind was going the other way so we did not get far with the paddle idea.  

We sat out there for about a half an hour wondering if we would soon become victim to Jason from Friday the 13th...ya know the part where the girl is in the canoe and he just comes out of nowhere and grabs her and takes her underwater??? Freaked me out as a kid...so bad.

Anway, finally out a nowhere a bass boat drives by.  Jimmy flags them down with the paddle and they drive over to us!  Dustin and Tony saved our lives!!!  They threw us a rope and pulled us to shore!!  These guys were awesome.  They went over an hour out of their way to help us out and we seriously would probably still be out on the river if they hadn't!!!  

So Tony and Dustin...wherever you are...you rock. Thanks for going fishing and thanks for saving us and Jimmy's boat!

Hope everyone has an amazing Memorial Weekend and be safe!!

love,
