the brannen bunch

We went to the Lake Keowee this weekend with sweet Christine and Russ Mills. We had a blast playing on the water but we had quite an adventure on Saturday with the boat. The boat decided that it did not want to crank. So Nick put in the spare battery and it cranked for about ten minutes which was just long enough to get about two miles from the cabin so the boat could quit working again. We got some random people to jump us off and it died again. Let me tell you, it is not as easy to jump off a boat as it is a car. When you jump off a car you park the car close to the other car it they stay in one place. But on the other hand two boats that are next to each other on the the lake on the weekend of the 4th does not stay in one place. They like to crash into each other and hit other boats and a whole manor of things like that. So we gave that idea up and decided to get towed back to the dock. It just so happened that our friends Megan and Lee were staying on the same lake so they came to rescue us. They were so sweet and started pulling us back. It was a slow ride. This is a a picture of us getting being pulled behind them. About 30 minutes later the rope snapped and once again we were hanging out in the middle of the lake again. So to say the least we had a 5 hour adventure getting a our boat back to the dock.
