Another race and another great experience with all the families and folks involved with J-boat racing. Two boats bumped heading to the course and my son’s boat flipped. The response from everyone involved was truly humbling. From the Safety Crew getting my son out of the water so quickly to the people out on the water looking for the missing the upper motor cowling........thanks to Mrs. Robin Shane who waded out in all the jellyfish to find the cover. Mr. L.E. Outlaw swam out and righted the flipped boat and drug it into shore. That's when Mr. Matt Dagostino and team Augustine took over helping me get the plugs pulled, water out of the cylinders, fuel tank drained and flushed, motor washed and oiled......then back to the water to start it with fresh gas (donated, I only had one gas can and had to drain the contaminated fuel into it).
Thanks folks….you turned a near disaster into a minor inconvenience.
I didn't mean to exclude Mr. Paul Price....another superstar that jumped in and helped us get the boat recovered.
