In this episode, I rent a slip so I can work on the trailer. Before we can get to the slip, I crash my boat head-on into a seawall. I'm thinking I sucked up some junk from the old gas can that I've been using, which blocked the fuel filter. Well, that meant I could go at full-speed or the motor would die. I didn't realize that having the slightest bit of throttle would stop me from moving the transmission selector switch between GO FAST and GO BACKWARDS FAST.
We also nearly hit some pilings because the wind was shifting around like (insert something colorful here)...
Eventually, we called it quits and limped back to the same marina we left from. We pulled in and coasted the rest of the way as our motor made one last burbling cough before it died, leaving us thankful to have made it back at all.
So, in the next episode, I'm sure I'll be working on the carbs again, cleaning some fuel filters, and doing some much dreaded fiberglass work.
