Hobie Boat Rescue!
Wow, what can i say, was a truly scary series of events today.
Firstly, at the Hobie test day, we saw a boat floundering in HUGE seas of the Matilda Bay boat ramp, bodies were strewen everywhere in the mess, it was lucky noone was seriously hurt. But i risked MY OWN LIFE AND LIMB for these guys, my comrades in arms in there 18ft fiberglass beast. The ensuing seas were no match for the NEW HOBIE PRO ANGLER< as she destroyed the massive swell on her way to rescuing the helpless boat, stricken, or so it seemed untill i came to save them.
I really don't want to be made out to be a hero or anything, it's cool. I like being the simple, aussie bloke i am. I just did what i figured any of you guys would have done in the same situation.
I mean, ones life is really insignificant, when it means you can save many.
Yes i know, crazy shit.
No please no, i dont want awards or money. The fact that i saved a life is reward enough.
