This is early on in the experience, we dragged the boat over a sandbar into the marsh and kept paddling. It was totally an "African Queen" experience minus the hippos. There were bullfrogs, eagles, and herons though.
For the record, I made Carl wear the tie-dyed shirt.
Note the open water, that's where we were when the boat capsized. Granted we capsized after everyone along the shoreline came out to their docks to watch the scene unfold. A bit mortifying for my pride and I given I grew up here. This is all while a large power boat was attempting to drag us into safety. Doesn't really work when the wake sinks the boat. Live and learn and have fun doing it!
Oh, and it was the perfect situation to break in my Chacos and Ex Officio shirt -- they both performed admirably.
