It also kept us from wanting to be added to the collection as the latest addition to the "Wall." (Overheard in the rental office at MM) "I thought that marker was RED! When I got close enough it miraculously turned BLACK! Then I heard this loud thumping and now the boat won't go over 10mph." We have all had that sinking feeling after hearing something go thump under the boat. It's usually floating wood or other "stuff." Love this forum because it keeps me attached to the lake when I'm so far away.
