Not a knife story but a friend was at the fuel dock
on the lower mississippi when a tanker came up river
The bow wave sucked all the water away from the dock
his 24 foot boat went under the dock and then the water
came back up , crushed the top and console. he was lucky
to be in the cockpit. A real nightmare.
You know, most people have no idea just how dangerous boating can be, you can go from silent night to jiffy pop in about three seconds. I see so many stupid people out on the water some days, overloading, people riding on the bow, crap like that. Every time I read about a water tragedy, drowning, whatever, it reminds me just how unforgiving the water can be.
