The Phone Call

[Bobcat]

I get a call at 6:30 last night , from a guy who has worked for us about two weeks, He's out of gas , and stuck aground somewhere out on the Gulf side.

It's dark, the winds blowing 25 MPH and it's cold. My boat is on the rack at the Marina..which closed at 5 PM....(I don't think I would have went out

there if the boat was already in the water.)

I told him to call for a tow...He then asked me for a Credit Card Number he could use ( I think Seatow would want $350.00 to even go out

there with gas)

If this was a friend, I'd got somebody to go out with me to help...but I barely know this guy....So I'm not going to get somebody away from their

warm comfortable home, to go out in the weather to search for an idiot who takes an 18' boat out during a "Small craft Warning" alert issued by the

USCG.





Anyways, I doubt he'll be at work today.

At least the water isn't deep.

I am ok when people do dumb things, but I get pissed when they get other people involved with their stupid ideas!

[Bobcat]

They made it to work....still drunk..

[fund razor]

Business as usual.

The part I'm having a hard time with, where you say "and it's cold"........

[fund razor]

Must be the wind chill from the (gasp) 25mph wind.

[Bobcat]

It was like 68*

[fund razor]

Ooh. Break out the winter shorts.

[Ratickle]

And a 26mph wind making the wind chill temp down around 67.5?
