Stuck In The Water


So have you ever wondered how a boat can get stuck in the water. Saturday while I was out with my Fishin Tool Bag on the Tennessee river, i came across this large yacht. It seems that they were out for a easy day on the water, when they missed a turn on the main channel. The water depth went from 40 some feet to three. Boats like this one, need at least eight feet of water to run in. When he went into only three feet of water, he was stuck.
There was a small tow boat and they pulled for more than an hour. In the end, a large barge that travels the river pulled him out. This would be a good way to eat up some props by hitting rocks, e was lucky.
