Now Where Did I Leave That Boat?

Now Where Did I Leave That Boat?

As the saying goes, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. Unfortunately that saying tends to overlook mishaps that are best forgotten. The nature of the beast is that we are easily entertained by the misfortunes of others. Really it's just a way of covering up the silly things that we all do. Some more than others-your's truly! This story has a happy ending though, so it's okay to laugh.

Michael Loshkaren, a commercial fisherman in California was found clinging desperately to a buoy at the entrance of the Los Angeles shipping channel. A strange place to be fishing from to say the least. Apparently someone in a nearby boat thought so as well and called the Coast Guard. Michael was rescued but he did not know where his boat was. It seems that this unfortunate soul had fallen from his boat but luckily was able to swim to a nearby buoy. His boat obviously had other plans for the day. Having been on auto-pilot, it went for a pleasure cruise six miles out to sea. The boat was recovered and Mr. Loshkaren was placed onboard to pilot the vessel home-escorted of course. Talk about a bad day of fishing!!
