The driver exited the car at which time he quickly realized that the car was still in reverse with no parking brake engaged!! The boat floated nicely off the trailer as the car became submerged!! All we could do at the time was to secure the boat and get this guy inside and warmed up.
A diver was called to get a chain around the front axel.

My next door neighbor used to say that if you watch long enough someone will make it all worthwhile. He spent a lot of time at Sheps and was not disappointed.
