Three years ago on Dec. 21[shortest day of the year!!] I went out to fish Salmon Bank and Eagle Point with the guy [ my boss] that I saltwater fish with all the time. Clear day, cold with light winds. Fishing was really slow and we turned to run home and just as we were running through Cattle Pass the boat clunked but keep running. After we cleared the pass we stopped and the main motor died and wouldn't turn over, as if the motor was froze up[turned out to be the out drive]. So started up the kicker and continued toward Washington Park at about 6 knots. Ran the first 2 gallons of fuel out, had no 2 cycle oil and no gas except in the main tank, so what to do. We did have a quart of 30 weight so into the kicker tank goes some oil, used the gas line for the kicker with the priming bulb to pump 2 gallons of gas from the main tank and off we go[smoking !!]. We get to Washington Park past dusk and just as we are about 3 feet from the dock the motor dies[tank is dry as a bone] and of course the tide is moving us away from the dock, so my buddy leaps quick as a cat with a line for the dock. He didn't land like a cat though, feet hit the dock,down on his back for about 5 feet but held on to the rope. Took 5 hours to make the trip going the inside route- sure see alot more stuff.
