Amen to those storms. I was out on Ray Hubbard once when a storm front was 
coming in. The boat we were in was a 19' Ranger with a 135hp. A nice little 
motor, but a 150 would have smoothed the boat out some. Anyway...the wind 
was howling and we were headed back to the ramp and we saw this guy in a 
fishing boat that had this tiny little motor on it. He was trying to get to 
shore going into the wind. We slowed down to watch him and he was only 
25yds from shore, but making no headway at all. We had to go over and tow 
the guy to shore before the real storm hit. It's better to have it and not 
use it than to not have it and need it. :)
