>>1153949Not my story, but on the water.
>Be my uncle >Fishing on the lake at our cabin in the middle of nowhere in Canada. >April/may, water is still cold, 40s-50s, still snows from time to time. >Trolling by himself on a 12 foot boat and a 25hp two -stroke outboard stick throdle. >Raining bad, the boat fills up with water. >To drain these boats you have to go really fast then take out a little plug in the back. >Does so>Driving really fast still, as he goes to put the plug back in, he let's go of the handle of the outboard motor by accident>immediately the motor turns as hard right as it can>Throws him out of the boat and into the water>He's wearing heavy rain boots and gear, they fill with water instantly and he sinks to the bottom of the lake 15-20 feet>He says "there's no way I thought I could survive this, everything was too heavy, I remember hitting the bottom, then, I swear to God, I feel these two hands lift me up from behind and push me up to the surface">From there he swims to the shore, it's a 3 mile walk through the bush to get back to the cabin>It's in the 30s F and rainy and windy as hell>He's cold, and lost a boot. >After maybe 20 minutes a couple French Canadians are driving across the lake and see an empty boat circling around >They go to investigate, and see my uncle in his yellow rain gear on the shore waving to them >Pick him up >Neither of them really speak English at all,>On the boat ride to our cabin where my father was, one of the French Canadians tell him in broken English "you're lucky sun' uh' bitch" >Uncle doesn't like fishing anymoreHe's not the superstitious or religious kind of guy, so I have to believe something happened underwater
