Not so exciting as Eskimo rolls, cave diving or vivisection I with two buddies ran out of gas on a fly-in fishing trip on Lake Missinabe in an aluminum fishing boat while wearing nothing but shorts and t-shirts in the fall.
One of the oarlocks broke, the wind picked up and it was suddenly nightfall. We each took our turns with panic when the air turned to about 30 degrees.
We rowed, sort of, against the wind all night long. Just about the time exhaustion set in the plan was to ram onto the rocky shore and spend the night in the overturned boat. Were it not for the harvest moonlight it was a certainty that we would perish.
