[#0000FF]You shouldn't have "bailed out" so fast on the pontoon. Heck, you eliminated most of the prerequisite bonehead maneuvers you gotta get out of the way before you can count yourself among us.
I really wish I had been along...not just to help you out but to get a good laugh. Remember the giving a hand...in applause?
Really though, accidents...by definition...are things that happen and are not planned for. Something that happens for the first time, and we are not prepared for it, can scare the heck out of ya and ruin your whole day.
Unfortunately, with tubes and toons they are inherently safe and simple. But Murphy was a float tuber/ tooner. He has come up with all kinds of crazy things we can do to ourselves...for our discomfort and the enjoyment of others.
Having fished from floating inflatables for over half a century I can assure you that I have "enjoyed" a lot of things that most folks would never think possible. Some were the result of poor planning. Others were the result of stupid planning...doing something just to see if I could do it. As my old friend Darwin used to say....
