Missouri Magic: "The boat trip" ![Smiley :) :)](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/smiley.gif)
Hi guys it was a beautiful day here 57 sunny so i took my boat out with my kids and my brother and sister in law on the Missouri river, there is a huge sand bar in the river and we go detecting there and find lots of stuff, it was a fun day all around but the kids left the radio on and killed the battery so the motor started at first but shut off aboput 40 ft from shore, and wouldnt start the battery was too low at that point so going along with the current we were headed for a big rock wall we get within 20 ft of it and we started paddeling the boat and after a great effort we got it back to the sand bar its starting to get dark I put out the emergency flag and hit the emergency airhorn the kids were waving for help and 2 boats went right by and didnt even slow down now its getting really dark and the kids are getting scared, its a 70 horse power electric motor, but when I bought it i remember the guy saying he had an emergency pull cord in the case sure enough it was there took about 15 min. but we got the motor going and made it back to the dock in the dark
