The boys wanted to go fishing up at Strawberry on Labor Day so we hooked the boat up and headed to the lake. It was a perfect beautiful day and we even started catching some fish until I noticed that there was water pooling up in the back of the boat where I was fishing. I asked Steve if this was normal and with a concerned look on his face he opened up the engine part of the boat and water was seeping in through a hole in the boat. Where the hole came from we have no idea. Needless to say that as we were sitting in the middle of Strawberry Lake our boat was slowly sinking and sinking. I'm so glad that I am married to Mr. Gadget Man who can fix anything and he quickly sprang into action grabbing the pump and pumping out as much water as he could. It was good enough for us to make it back to the dock before we sank to the bottom of the lake.
Notice the stream of water being pumped out of the boat.
Good thing they are small enough to climb right into the engine.
At least we caught some fish before we would have been the fish if we had sunk.
