PropellerZ and RockZ = Bad Thing...

Well, while VERY SLOWLY looking for a spot to drop anchor last night, I went a tad too far into the bay (sandy/muddy bottom) and therefore dediced to back out a boat lenght or so.
Put the engine in reverse, and on idle start to go back - to suddenly hear "something" and the engine quickly stalling. Darn, a rock! And not only "a" rcok, the ONLY rock in that entire part of the bay.
One blade sheared off, about 1 inch or so, the other baldes essentially untouched.

I guess the lesson's learned. Even when in familiar waters, there's always unknown "stuff" lurking underneath.

Oh well, the joy of boating...
