Bobby's boat was about 1/2 mile away through thigh deep water - a long slog. Her swing keel had jammed into the mud, and as we tried to free her, the keel cable broke so it couldn't be raised.

We finally wrapped a rope around the boat and tightened it until the keel was lifted up a bit. Bobby started the outboard and the boat started moving slowly to windward - and freedom.

We left Gordo with Bobby and went back to the Tetra.
