Well today was quite a day!
It started with taking delivery of "Big Blue" our new 320 DA. The boat is unbelievable in every way. We took the boat out for a spin. Quite a HUGE difference in driving the 320 vs. our previous 182 BR!!! I still need a tremendous amount of practice trying to get the boat in the slip. If our salesman was not telling me exactly what to do I am not sure I could have ever gotten her in the slip.
The day came to an abrupt halt after about my third practice try of getting the boat into the slip when my wife was out on the swim platform trying to keep the boat from bumping the sides of the slip. The platform was wet from our cruise and she slipped and fell hard. She dislocated her finger bad! It was sticking out at a 45 degree ange from the knuckle. It was not a pretty site.
So my day ended with a trip to the emergency room, where we found that she didn't break anything, but they think she might need surgery because she has torn ligaments.
I am just so thankful that she didn't go into the drink and was not seriously hurt!!
So, does anyone have any recommendations for boat shoes with good traction even on a wet swim platform or bow?
