Powerboat as pick-up truck

Had to get my powerboat out to go pick up a race mark that we'd used on Saturday but that had drifted toward land near enough to shallow water that I couldn't go pick it up via my 24' sailboat that I used to set it.  So got my 21' Sea Ray off my neighbor's lift and took it out to hunt down the large fender attached to a 15 lb Danforth.  Found it fairly easily and was glad that it wasn't too hard to grab it with the boat hook, put the engine in neutral so it wouildn't get fouled on the prop, and then bring it in.  The bottom of the chesapeak remains mucky, but at least I got my anchor back!
