Well not really but I just wanted to tell my story of hangin out on the Delta. Im a passenger on Judes X9, We roll by ski beach just as we get there our friend Harold and crew rolls up. We decide to tie up together around the corner from ski beach in the 5mph zone. Just as we get setteld we notice that theirs like 5 diffrent water cops floating around like sharks looking 4 somthing to eat. The only thing cool about sitting there is watching the cop's pull over Jack A$$'s on jet ski's throwing wakes in the 5mph zone. We decide that we would feel more comfortable if we moved away from the law. So we chill around the corner. After chilling for a few we decide to roll out and on our way home we get pulled over by the exact same cops we were trying to aviod. Nothing dramatic it was the Cast Gaurd. They were cool no power trippin they did the normal check everything and let us go.
As soon as we pull away we see a stranded boat, We pull over to them,they say they are out of gas and we throw them a rope for a pull back to disco bay. Then the drama starts, We do the rookie move and run over our rope Woop's. So now we are no help to our out of gas friends.
I dive under the boat and start the job of untangling the rope from the prop. Not realy as bad as I thought it would be except for the fact that we drifted in to the tully's and the mud So now im woring in the 3 1/2 feet of Black water and mud between the boat, as boats are throwing wake and the boat is bobbing up and down and the rudder is working like a jack hammer. As I was under the boat working away all I could think about is this is one of thoes stupid things that happens that turns way worse. So to say I had my gaurd up was a understatment. lol The cost gaurd pulls up and offers a knife to cut the rope away. By this time the rope was all most free. So one more dive under the boat and we were free. When we were finished for some reason we didnt feel like towing anyone. And we flagged down the cops and had them tow the people back. We were like hey lets get the cops to work. The cops pulled up and got them hooked up. Our friends were pulled over by the Coast Gaurd in the same aera as well. I guess they are cracking down. Make sure you have all your stuff in line.
jackets extingusher ect. Have fun and be safe
