[QUOTE="chimneyman, post: 5279037, member: 10016"] Christmas Eve 1983 woke up to go duck hunting temp was low 20s wind around 5-10 mph at 8:30 wind was blowing 25-30 supposedly temp had dropped to 8 degrees wind chill -20.we had had enough We got decoys loaded into a 15 ft Jon boat with 3 guys. We made it across the lake and were running against the waves which were blowing spray on us. The boat driver cut back the throttle which lowered the front end. First wave filled the boat up 2nd wave capsized us. Luckily we were only 49-50 ft from shore and less than 200 yds from truck we all lost our hip boots swimming Our wet socks were freezing to the rocks on the bank and this really bruised out feet making walking painful for at least a week. Somehow we drove about a mile to a bootleggers house luckily he was home. We stripped made love to his wood stove and drank his whiskey. We lost all our guns and decoys are still floating somewhere. About 1 week later we went back got the boat which was still upside down washed up on bank about 1/2 mile away. I had nightmares for over a year. Seeing that wave come over the boat [/QUOTE]
