We've been looking for the perfect dinghy for a while now, so when it finally popped up in West Palm Beach, FL, we jumped on it and drove down to get it. Since it was Carla's birthday, we decided to stay an extra couple days and take our new dinghy for a spin on the ICW. Carla remained at the boat ramp, holding the dinghy's line, while I parked the car and trailer. Before I returned, she stepped on the slippery stuff in the water and fell backwards on her head. We spent the next four days in a local hospital due to a fractured skull and concussion. After she was released from the hospital, we made our way back to South Carolina where she will recover at home for the next several weeks. It was not a pleasant way to spend her birthday, but we got the dinghy!
Here's Carla and "D-Time" before the accident, waiting for me to run the car through the car wash.
