queensland Dino's Saltwater Catastrophe

[Dinodadog]

Eldest son had just had his tender repaired and as we were going to visit him, he asked if we could call in to horizon shores on the way and help put the tender back on his boat.Well wife and I was on the back of his boat when he arrived back with the tender, the dog got a bit excited and run to meet him, missed the end of the walkway and fell in the water. I bolted down the steps tripped over the rope(as seen behind the dog in photo ) done a complete micky flip and ended in the water.

While I was trying to get the dog out of the water, I cut my legs and hand on the barnicles, my eldest son tried to pull me back out of the water but failed, so middle son came to the rescue, one on each arm. All this time all I could think about was bull sharks.

On a lighter side, before this happened there was bream around the boat that looked well over 40cm.

Off to the doctor monday so they can inflict some pain on me and dress the wounds.

Could have been really nasty @Dinodadog. Hopefully you didn’t damage your new knee.

[Kenne]

Hope your ok but sorry I couldn't help laughing when reading it. Sounded like a comedy act.

 

PS nice looking boat

More a fast splatt than a slow blatt ! haha Glad you're ok and hope your tetanus is up to date...those ones hurt.

[Ed.]

Hope you get well soon, keep an eye out for infections, marine cuts can get nasty, I would have gone to the doc straight away to get them cleaned and dressed as I have had a few myself.

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Bloody hell, that would've hurt! Youch! Hope you're alright Dino. Glad you were rescued and got out! 

I'd be tempted to throw a lure at some of those bream.

Cheers Hamish

On a positive note barnicles leave scars and chicks dig scars

Family havnt stopped laughing at my exspense, I am off to the doc in the morning, have taken some antibiotics and got smothered in benedine.

Tried 5 different lures on the bream, but they were to wise.

It did sound like a comedy skit but treat any infections serious. I recently spent 15 days in hospital with an infected shoulder. Had it cut open and cleaned out then 6 weeks on intravionis antibiotics. The infection I had was caused by a shoulder replacement I had 10 months earlier. But while in hospital I heard that marine infections can be horrible.                   Please every body treat any infection serious if it gets in your blood you can be dead in a few hours.

Now on a happier note I'm going to cook a mangrove jack for dinner that my mate gave me

Now if only you had video’d it, you would be a YouTube star!

Took the dog 2 days to have anything to do with me and I was the one that saved her, little *****.

Lesson for all us there to limit the amount of running around pontoons / ropes / dock lines. Glad to hear ur ok

[Dinodadog]

Have to go each day and get wounds dressed, have to wait to have a shower just before I go to the docs or the wounds might stay moist overnight.Told the wife I could still go fishing if I put my waders on, she was not impressed at all.
