Good deed got punished, took 10 years

[Evil Sports]

Was out fishing with the boys yesterday and a group of 4 kayaks approached. I heard someone say is that Bob? Im like hey, whos that. It was a buddy I coached football with years ago. He was being towed by one of the other yaks. He was having a tough time with that boat. We continued to fish our spot which was unproductive so we spun around and started to approach the Yaks. I said to my crew we should offer to bring him to the docks near by, it will only take a couple minutes. So we roll up on them and while were getting him on the boat one of the other guys unhooks his rope and you guessed it right up into my port motor and stalls it. I didn't see it happen but when that motor went down I knew. Luckily I have my boat set up with the 80# trolling motor so I set that on autopilot and made my way to the docks while I started cutting out the rope. It took about 20 minutes the get all of it out with a $1 box knife. I guess since it was a good deed fail I was lucky it was a thin rope and it didnt melt on the shaft.
Well I made it 10 years without having to cut out a rope but I guess its a right of passage, and I completed mine.

I see ,just think if you had sucked up a few more ropes in the past you could have cut it out in 5 minutes rather that taking 20 so it just depends on how you look at it.

I beat you. It only took me two years! Mine was an inflatable tow rope. I couldn't believe how lucky I got. It had sucked it up in the middle of the rope. I was able to just back off the winds in a few minutes. The rope and impeller didn't show any signs of distress!

Welcome to the club! (Sorry)

I'm on season 6 without sucking up a rope. We're near the end, so good chance we'll make it through this season without incident.

Little like riding a bike, not if you go down, but when.

Yeap, exact quote I had in mind.

I'm still luckily in the 1st group, but my riding has been cut back significantly since the second little arrived. Not a danger thing just a timing thing.

Sold mine back in 1993. 2 cars, motorcycle, dog, girlfriend, sports= No time. You also have 50% less chance of joining the suck club since you only have 1 vacuum.
