This morning while fishing my drift sock got caught up in the starboard engine. The ditch had a strong current today. I was nervous about coming back on one engine. I was also afraid that the drift sock could tangled up with my Portside engine. I have Tow Boat US so instead of risking it I had them tow me in. Thanks Mike

Bummer! I've done similar things but with only one engine and had to limp back in with an electric trolling motor or paddle. (My boat's a bit smaller!)

Agree with Dirty, that water is CRAZY! Current had to be interesting.

Not good Ray. Did you put your diving gear on?
