Pottahawk ends with a bang or should I say several crunches.<\/p>\n
At Approx. 1:30 AM, a boater decided to leave, crossing the path of our anchor line.<\/p>\n
The anchor line was severed and we were set adrift in what\u00a0felt like an eternity of mayhem.\u00a0\u00a0We ended up aground on a sand bar while crashing up against several other boaters.\u00a0 Most nightmares you wake up afterwards, but unfortunately we were\u00a0woke up\u00a0prior to the nightmare.<\/p>\n
Many thanks to my very strong, fit crew (with the help of others) who were able to push the nose forward of a 24,000 pound boat in high seas and allow us to power off the sand bar.<\/p>\n
Also, thanks to the people and facilities at MacDonald’s Turkey Point Marina for their hospitality in patching us up and getting us on our way the next day.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

In remembrance of our faithful watertoy that along with some other things did not survive the ordeal.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n
