Try cranking the motor..no go, between the cold and no doubt an old or uncharged battery, it wouldn't turn over. Tried a second battery just in case, still no go
OK, so I head to the "local" Marina, that visit still HURTS !. Which is their real name they just mis-placed a consonant
Well we get the boat going, thanks to an over priced battery but hey, I promised Tony a days fishing, damned if I wasn't gonna get out there. Well after 4 hours of no hits, snow and wind that would freeze the kohonas off a polar bear, we decided to pack it in.
Now we had been drifting for a good part of the day. So I'm not paying attention to where we are in fact, I'd just looked at the fish finder and saw 5.3 ft, figured we better hi tail it outta there. The mistake I made was not noticing a red buoy off to one side.
Away we go, for about 30 seconds then, crunch, grind...Shiiiiiiiiiii?....what the *%#@*&% was that. Well let's just say I've never seen a prop so badly chewed up, literally. All 3 fins lost at least an inch. Somewhere in all this I sheared my shear pin too.
We were able to putter slowly about 2/3rds of the way back before it just wouldn't push us anymore. We had to paddle. Did some minor damage from the looks of things to the keel too.! Time will tell.
What a Freeeeeeeeeeakin' day
On top of this NO FISH
Tony, you were a pleasure to fish with. Next time, we go to my neck of the woods
The bill awaits me...Oh Boy
But you guys sure have the dedication of true fisherman!!!!!
There are better days ahead.. like your trip to Bass Pro! 
Cripes!
