Fouled Prop
During one of trips going from Labelle to the boat yard we managed to pick something up in the river, and get the prop fouled. This happens to be where it is super handy to have a 17 year old, 'I'm willing to try anything' around :-) We stopped in a place just off the Caloosahatchee the locals call the Lollipop, that is just East of the Ortona Lock. It is a narrow channel that leads back to a hidden little lagoon. We were able to pull all the way up to the edge and "drop anchor" in the cow fields. They(the cows) watched in amazement as we landed the vessel and all jumped ship!

Shep, getting ready to check out the prop, while Elliot takes on Alligator Watch duty. He had paddled the kayak all around the shore and found only 2 little gators. But as the story with bears goes, where there is a baby, there is a mama!!!
Dropping into the brown, murky, alligator infested waters.....
Not pictured is the hour and a half that it ended up taking Olivier and Tamer to build Shep a makeshift hookah system for him to breath underwater. The goggle/snorkel set up was really not successful.
