So this afternoon, I finally started clearing the area for my Malibu Cave(aka:a shop). I had to move the boat to the street in front of the house. We had finished for the day and was talking in the yard and I heard a pop. The wedge shot out from under the trailer jack wheel, and the boat starting rolling off the road and down a hill toward a ditch. God must have looked down and told one of his angels "quick: go save that BU". It barely missed a tree down the whole side, and I thought the trailer jack was going to snap at any time. Finally it came to a rest at a small ditch with no damage. We could not stop that heavy sucker, but we did try to guide it on the way down. Some of the scariest seconds of my life. Took us a while to get the truck hooked to it and pulled out of the yard. Mark this down as another first in boat experiences for me. I'll post some pics as we build over the next month. Thought I would share my memorable experience.
