Red Orc

Ok so I went out riding Monday made a couple of mistakes, but got real lucky, a quick review 4 mistakes and 2 lucky's

1) went out to estero bay at low tide, or I should say about 1/2 hour before low tide
mistake at low tide i should have head straight out to the gulf it was calm
2) decided to take the estero river 'mangrove' run that I did with you peeps at the ski fest
mistake to do that alone and for the first time
3) made my first left after entering the river from the bay "horrible idea" hit mud mud and more mud, put myself about 20 feet onto the mud
mistake for not looking at that map ONE more time before heading in, did I mention riding this alone was bad ?
4) dead low tide hit over the next 15 minutes so i went from 5inches of water to about 3 haha now i find myself really stuck there was no way i was moving it by myself
mistake for not working out more in the last 20 years
5) friendly (and muscular) boater comes by , thank god for both because friendly wouldn't have been enough and i would have needed at least 150 feet of tow rope for him to drag me off from a deep enough spot
Lucky to find a friendly boater who was willing to wade through the mud and help me out instead of just offering to "call someone for me"
6) dragged it off the mud about 6 inches at a time, totally exhausting work, and the impeller was still clear, started right up,
Lucky the impeller was clear, because I don't know how to clear it.

I got stuck in Estero Bay and I had a nice person help me out too. If you come back there are a few of us that ride around there usually Sundays.

I don't ride in Lee County very often, I moved to the other coast for employment but I still come down to the estero area to visit friends and I usually bring the ski along when I do since I usually come over for 4 day weekend type deals so I end up with free time. Thanks for the offer and i'll keep it in mind. I haven't dont much riding on the East coast either as of yet.
