Great story Sal.... I was laughing as I was reading it. My favorite part was...

Unlike the gentleman on the radio, we ran into some fine friendly boaters. They waved frantically and enthusiastically as we powered through their pod. I think they were impressed with my new boat and skills, and how I could negotiate such a small area with such speed. They were safety conscious too, as the seemed to be going only about 2 or 3 miles per hour. We waved back and kept going.

Classic....:D:D:D:D
