Rescue Operation

By Andrew Kiraly
Published August 1, 2014 at 6:26 PM PDT

So what happened was we were at the lake recently, and we ran over a rock shoal in our rented pontoon boat, shredding the propeller and stranding us west of The Narrows without cell service. This guy was nice enough to give us a tow, so we gave him some sangria to take back to his boat.
