January, cold, I was urinating off the front of the boat while the boat was still idling forward - buddy driving. Eased into this slough, there was a houseboat parked on the side of it, well houseboat was connected to a cable that was about 10 inches under the water right at mouth of slough. Motor catches on cable and catapults me into the water, many laughs from the driver but he fell in twice that night on an icy boat ramp
