This was probably the first time I’ve ever regretted getting off my boat to walk a line out to a stuck boat. The water temp was high 60s, and even though it wasn’t a really warm day, I figured with the sun out it wouldn’t be too bad. Boy was I wrong. I must’ve hit a sandbar between myself and the boat I was going to go get, because even though I started out in knee depth water (typical), I quickly started getting into deeper water that eventually went all the way up to my waist (not typical) before going back down to knee level by the customer’s boat.

AI-Generated Description:
You ever have one of those moments where you step off your boat and instantly think, “Yeah, this was dumb”?
Yeah. That was me.
This was supposed to be a quick, easy job. Just walk a line out to a customer’s stuck boat, hook it up, and call it a day. The water was in the high 60s, the sun was shining, and I figured, “It’s knee-deep water—I’ve done this a hundred times. No big deal.”
Spoiler alert: BIG DEAL.
I must’ve found the one random trench in the entire area, because before I knew it, I went from casually wading to full-on regretting every life decision that led me to this moment. One minute I’m knee-deep, next minute I’m waist-deep, cold, wet, and trying not to look like I’m swimming to my customer’s boat. I kept waiting for Morgan Freeman’s voiceover to kick in: “It was at this moment… he knew.”
Eventually the water shallowed out again (thanks, nature), but not before I looked like a half-drowned seal dragging a tow line through a saltwater slip-n-slide.
Moral of the story? Always test the depth. Or better yet—just throw the line like a normal person.
