I think you aren't going to gain anything by posting your grudge here on the forum, as most viewers and posters, as I read are seasoned boaters on the lake and understand what happened is par for the course. Move on to more important things and learn from your experiences. You are not going to change anything regarding the MP nor gain sympathy for your "crisis" from most of us readers. I bet you check your guages and all your gear before you head out on the lake at night after this experience now, don't you?

The next time you are left stranded out on the lake with a boat full of kids, at night, with boats coming at you from every direction rushing out after the fireworks, your out of gas. With the boat rocking, the kids crying and your mother inlaw asking you to do something, ask yourself how Minor a thing that felt like at the time. I have learned from my experience, I have not run out gas since, I do make sure all you equipment is in fine working order, and most important, I don't count on anything from the Marine Patrol. Oh, and I like the great elephant, NEVER FORGET!
