AND YES LIKE SPARE SAID IT WAS A HUGE PARTY!!!!!!DRUNKS EVERYWERE. THERE WAS A GUY IN A PONTOON THAT WAS PLASTERED!!!!! THE GATE KEEPER TOLD EVERYBODY TO START THERE ENGINES AND UNTIE YOUR BOAT BECAUSE WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR YOUR GONNA HAVE THREE FOTTERS IN HERE!!! THE GUY IN THE PONTOON STARTED OUT BEFOER THE LEFT DOOR WAS OPEN ALL THE WAY AND HIT THE DOOR. THE BOAT LISTED HARD OVER ON ITS RIGHT SIDE!!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE CAPT TRYING TO RIGHT IT. I JUST KNEW HE WAS GOING DOWN!!!!! I TOLD MY WIFE TO START GETTING ALL THE LIFE JSCKETS READY. MY PLAN WAS TO GET OUT OF THE LOCKS AND CIRCLE BACK TO THE LEFT AND START THROWING OUT LIFT JACKETS!!!! WHO EVER SAID GOD TAKES CARE OF DRUNKS IS RIGHT!!!! EVERYBODY ON THE PONTOON GOT ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE BOAT(PORT SIDE)AND THE CAPT WAS FINALY ABLE
