Yeah for Patty Pansing Brooks, and, uh, Jay and Karen Young!!!

Well, it happens every year. A boat dies with no warning. The gas is checked, the engine is started over and over again, but to no avail. Then, the question is, who do I know who can come save me.

This time, it happened on the way to the July 4th parade of boats. Everyone in the cabin was on the pontoon boat, so there was nobody to call back home. So, Patty called our long time friends, Jay and Karen Young, down at the Cheque-mates (4 docks down from us) to come salvage the boat.

Now, you may think that stopping what you were doing, getting in a boat, heading out into the water and towing the Pansing/Plummer clan back to dry land would be enough to ask of anyone. However, the pontoon was so festively decorated, and everyone aboard wanted to get their parade on, so Patty asked Jay and Karen to tow them for the whole parade route. Mind you, the parade was long over. Only PPB could get away with that!

Everyone had a great time and were able to enjoy all the efforts to decorate the pontoon boat.

On a side note, I was on the phone with Amy when the boat conked out, and I told Brady he was going to have to swim home and pull the boat in. He said, "No way Daddy, I don't have my suit on. So Loel, Jay, or Avary will need to do that. They have there bathing suits on." Now, that argument may hold water if you are not found swimming around in your underwear later that afternoon pretending to be Avatar. So, Brady, next time, that excuse may not work!

Another great story in the history of the Minnesota cabin.
