15 years Ago Today Sept. the 10th

Post by pzrwest »

15 years ago today my good friend and U-boat vet and I almost lost our lives because of a boating accident. We had wend to the moth of the Naiscoot(sp) river where it connects to Georgian Bay. We had set up a small camp on one of the small islands. Around noon it started to rain so we packed up the boat and started to head back to the boat landing where we launched the boat. A wave came over the side of the boat causing the boat to sink. Luckely some people from the next small island recued us and put us up for the night with warm showers and dry clothes, and gave us a nice warm supper. Edgar said the last time he was in the water like this was back in Nov 1944 when he got washed of the U-boat. Next morning the 11th we headed home and stopped for breakfast in Perry Sound and while eating our breakfast they had the tv on and we saw in real time the planes crashing into the World Trade Canter. Edgar said since we had survived the accident meant were started our lives from the boating accident. So today Edgar and I are 15 years old today
