Pulled up on the sandbar beside the albatross. Daddy anchored it there all night. (Mommy was able to get on without getting wet - me, too!)
On Sunday, Daddy, Mommy & I took the toon upriver to Chillicothe. On our way back, it just quit. Daddy poured more gas in but the battery wouldn't even turn over! Mommy did her famous distress signal & this pontoon towed us back home! It was a very smooth, quiet ride and the gas mileage was great! Another day, another adventure! We sure meet lots of nice boaters!
