Actually, that is not accurate either.
Neil testified which washes they usually went to and DW went farther out than that and ended up getting stuck.
So, he could have gone to where his 'buddies' usually were, find out they aren't there, gone farther out, find they aren't there, get stuck, get towed out, get hot/tired/fed up and head somewhere else because he had had it with the sand area.
Now did NEAL testify that DW didn't go to where his buddies usually went FIRST, then headed farther out?
Or did he just say the area where DW got stuck was farther out?
