I was drunk as shite and flipped my toob on the San Marcos once. River was running fast after lots of rain. No big deal, I am an ok swimmer. Except there was a pile up of toobs. And under water there was no where to surface. I swam a pretty good distance searching thru a gap of a big log jam. I eventually emerged next to some older baw and he saw me struggling to breathe and had me grab his tube. Good chance it saved my life. I could have been a tx st tubing fatality

and if you were only half drunk think of all the a.s you could have grabbed in the pile up

one more a water sport also, Went skiing with dads boat in the early 70's, tchfuncte river, lots of beer. As last skier, I waved to driver to drag me close to boat ramp where I would coast in looking like a professional. I was going faster than the beer and proceeded up the ramp and 50 feet into the parking lot. Not related Kids said do it again!!!

Ahh another hunting boat experience, around 2012, I drove the airboat with a heavy load of hunters, dogs and guns back in. You never ever stop a heavy airboat in deep water. At this launch, you had to go fast across the ship canal and make a hard right at the bank before slowing down. I missed the turn and wound up in the parking lot next to the game wardens truck. He was very nice , we knew him well and asked if he could help
