A PAX of 4 and YHC converged in the gloom upon the SML state park beach area. YHC arrived a little early to scope things out and create THE THANG. Upon arrival, YHC inched closer to the beach and decided to anchor down at the perimeter swim buoys. While the engine of the boat and the music were playing, YHC heard what sounded like a bobcat moaning out. WOW, what was that? YHC turned off the boat and music, anchored down and floated in the dark and silence for a couple of minutes until I heard the same noise. By golly, that’s not a bobcat, that is the homosapien species mating in the wild. YHC decided to go ahead and swim to shore. While scoping out the perimeter and creating the Thang, a voice from the water yelled “Sir, Sir, please bring us that towel by the guard stand.” YHC obliged. At that point, Explosion and Cheesy Poof arrived to see one of the mammals exit the water. Who knew? It must have been his birthday.
