I have a similar one from childhood only on LakeSuperior. I also have on involving a Minn Kota Riptide and no spare batteries and some high wind. Too bad I didn't have a Beav' shirt in either of those instances . . . .Poor kid, you were probably too young to know better. Loved the story.

I guess I never thought about it, cause it was just "normal" for us! But to clarify - our family never was big on buying Tupperware - so we used old whipped cream cartons as our Tupperware! We packed lunches in them, bait, first aide kits....whatever! I still use them too this day! Much cheaper that way! In fact, Frugal Housewife - you can put that one on the list! Ha!

Did you keep bait in the whipped cream cartons and just never removed the empty ones? This is a cute story. I can just see all of your paddling with your makeshift paddles and one little boy in the front waving his orange shirt. I wondered the same thing.

I watched one night as three gentleman were using whatever they had at their disposable to get back the ramp. They had about a 30ft old wooden boat, and one gentleman was using a broom to try and help propel it across the lake. Needless to say we ended up giving them a tow. I have one question. Why were there so many whipped cream cartons in the boat? Great story.
