re: craziest outdoor/hunting story

Speaking of boats dying, dad and I took my wife out a couple summers ago to choke canyon (south texas) in his boat that he had just bought. Moving from one spot to another in the middle of the afternoon the motor just dies. Couldn't get it to run long enough to get anywhere. Ended up using the trolling motor to get back to the dock, 2 hours later we burned through both batteries. I had to hop out and walk us in when we got closer. Hopped in the truck and it was 105 at 5:00. He had more problems the next summer too, needless to say he bought a new boat this last summer. Feel bad for my wife, she's a ginger and was burned to a crisp.
