Broken Cable Award ~ This award is given to the show participant who, despite his best efforts, experience some sort of tough luck at the docks or out on the water.  This award is named after the broken cable incident at Charles’ lake house after one of our show planning meetings.  He was preparing to put his boat in the water to satiate the boards needs when we all heard a large SPLASH and saw Charles floating out of the boat house with a rather large and heavy boat chasing him.  The cable on his boat lift broke and the rest is history.  JOHN VOGLER BOOK WITH BOOKMARK
