Journal Entry 032614-A: Battleship Marine!

Friends,

 

I think I will stick with the story or adventure that I mentioned in yesterdays post.

 

Friends when I was 14 my parents bought me a 14 foot Sears Game fisher Jon Boat for my birthday on April the 14th.

 

I may have been 12 or 13 because I also got oars and oar locks with the boat.

 

It may have been a year or so later when I worked the summer washing windshields for fifty-cents per hour to buy my first outboard motor from Mr. Stauter at Stauter Boats across the street from my parents Exxon Travel Stop on Battleship Parkway!

 

I loved my little four horse 1976 Evinrude. My Jon Boat would fly!

 

I used to take it out in the bay and when the wind was out of the south-east and the chop was up run the boat as fast as she would go into the wind!

 

Talk about fun! She'd come clear out of the water and crash down into the waves!

 

One day I was trying to get her as high as in the air as possible and a gust of wind caught her and man did she fly!

 

She flew straight up in up in the air and right back upside down in the water!

 

I thought the water was over my head but think God it wasn't.

 

I didn't have a kill switch. I killed the engine as we sailed over backwards!

 

I was only short distance from the boat so I swam over too it and in four feet of water I flipped the boat over then followed the fuel line down to my three gallon tank sitting on the bottom and picked it up put it in the boat grabbed my gear not so much in that order climbed back in cranked her up and off I went again!

 

I told my dad it was an accident!

 

Hell I did it every time I went out in the boat but I did move the tank to the bow!

 

The fun I had on Hollingers Island in the summer-time!

 

The winter time too but oh the summers!

 

I started painting the door to the store today. Do you like the darker color?

 

I hope you enjoyed the story my friends!
