Hate it when that happens! Thats why i never go out in the race boat by meself! Always with another boat if i can help it! Just to save the embarresment of calling the lifeboat!

BIG FAT CRITTER is making his way over to dark skinned bro's workshop to knock him the feck out and his skinny little mate who's still got no boat!!!!!!!ha
Oh and yes i felt like a complete plank being pulled in by a 60" life boat!!!!!!
worst was when a crew member said "never saw a boat like this before who built this one then?"
