Jeff is on the first day of his fishing vacation. Jeff, a friend and
MY dog went for a brief venture in his new boat. They found a small
island, anchored, and walked ashore. (dog swam) Men fished, dog played
and frolicked with other dog...s. After about 2 hours, they headed
back to the boat.... found it sitting on dry land. It appears that
Jeff was unaware that large bodies of water have things called
"tides." Apparently, "tides" flow in and "tides" flow out and
sometimes when the "tide" flows out.... well, you and your friend and
your wife's dog are stuck in a boat on dry land for about 9 hours. And
when the sun goes down, it gets a bit chilly. I hope he will be with
you tomorrow. I also hope, for Jeff's sake, that MY dog is okay.

This is his wife, Rachel, signing off.

I'm thinking this beats the Millheim duck incident.
