Cool and clear. The kids were up when we had a near-fatal accident on the lake. Some old guy was testing a standard outboard for his daughter when a huge wave snuck up on him. He was thrown out of the boat, no lifejacket, no dead switch attached.
The kids were looking at the boat just spinning tight turns, when the old guy finally hollered 'Help!" Some millennial canoeists went right by him. My kids were hopeless, but all the neighbours took out their boats and saved the old guy on his last legs.
The other boats just made a big circle around the spinning boat. Finally, someone thought of scattering floating ropes all around and it finally snagged. Quite brilliant, really.
So, next time, maybe attach that cord when you have a standard fishing boat. And wear the lifejacket. (I never do).
