when every boat you saw would have rushed to help.

Those days disappeared when the big boats brought a new attitude to the lake.

Coincidence? Or reaping what you sow?

Think about it.

Last summer at the end of the day at Chimney Rock, after idling for a while, our boat conked out. We could not get it started. Dusk was setting in and we had to get back to Blue Creek. Out of the blue, we got help by someone who creatively took a ski rope and pulled manually, like you would on a mower. It worked. We were so grateful - tried to reward the guy for his help, but we became separated by all the confusion, trying to keep our motor going and getting back before dark, and other boats leaving the area.

That help came from -

(but I didn't know his name at the time and it was only HERE ON THIS FORUM that we figured each other out) -

are you ready?

CATBOAT.

So, WSMS. You want to try and convince ME that:

"Those days disappeared when the big boats brought a new attitude to the lake."

I don't think so.
