Virgin Boaters





Papa & Honey took us out on the boat for the first time...Of course, we all had a wonderful time - beautiful day, quite steamy so it was nice to have the breeze from the boat (well, atleast while it was in motion - more on this later).

Papa started out driving & we hit bottom (just a little bit, it's ok, Papa) then Chris took over - he almost ran the boat into the bridge - hilarious! It was like slow motion...we kept getting closer & closer & finally we were within 5 feet of the bridge and I could see true panic on his face - we all laughed as Chris blamed it on the undertow! (Yea, right...good try babe!) Shortly after our close encounter this REALLY LOUD ANNOYING alarm started going off & of course NONE of us knew what was wrong (I'm lol writing this)! Papa turned off the motor & it stopped. As boats are passing us LG keeps asking why none of them will stop & help us. As soon as Papa cranks it back up, yep, you guessed it - the alarm returned! So we road back to the marina with this REALLY LOUD ANNOYING alarm going off - all feeling REAL cool at this point! I would equate it to driving your car around with the windows down & the horn blowing FOR NO REASON & YOU CAN'T STOP IT OR GET OUT!

Once safe & sound at the marina, the owner said that it was b/c our motor was overheated (probably from hitting the bottom - of course, we didn't admit that to him, we just acted like we had no idea how the motor could have gotten overheated)! Looking forward to the next ride...
