I was lucky that I had grabbed the wheel or I would have been thrown overboard, probably doing some damage on my Bimini top on the way over, I had seriously underestimated the tide flow and affect of the wind. I lifted the motor to wash out the water inlets and prop that were caked with mud, then preceded to try to get myself off the bank to no avail. I sat there for a while trying to figure out how I was going to get myself off the bank as I watched people drive past ignoring me. As I was sitting there cursing those people, over the space of 20 or so minutes, I felt the back of the boat move, so I tried again and moved the boat off the bank.
So I made it back to the ramp with a bruised ego, and I try to make sure I don't do anything that stupid again
See that just about every time I venture out into western port, I often think about going to help then re-think real quick and don’t because the chance of me getting stuck also trying to help isn’t real appealing :rofl:
Yes, I can see that now, but I wasn't too impressed then, I was lucky that day, and a bit wiser because of it.
My mate has said for a long time that there are two types of fishermen out in western port, those that have bottomed out, and those that are going to, I'm in the first category now, though not planing on it happening again (famous last words?)

I told the nut bag to go to the police and he said they didn't help him. The whole thing was really unnerving.
