Those that were done launching were just waiting for
the rest and for the blast off.

And some finally realized that it would help to have a plug
in the boat before launching it.  Yep, this team had to pull
the boat back out to plug it.  No, they were not the first
that had ever done this.  (just a friendly tease guys).

We're cool.  We're ready to kick butts.  Let's go already.

And some were getting things ready till the last minute.

Be very careful guys. This boat was floating in the dark in the middle of the lake right where Etowah & Little river
meets.  Many boats often run at high speed at night especially tournament boats that are heading back to the
weigh-in.This is very dangerous/hazardous. 911 was called and the authorities came to investigate and took care of it
We are not sure what happened or what became of it.  But it appears that after an accident, the boat was abandoned.
