Great story 1000meter! How did your mom get there? Fly or drive?
Many, many years ago. MrsMac and I were anchored in Cat Harbor on the west side of Catalina Island CA. We took the dingy in to have dinner and a few drinks at a restaurant a short walk from the dingy float.
Well we got to the restaurant at 5-ish and left when the bar closed at 2-ish.
As we stumbled down the path from the restaurant to the dingy float we ran across a couple of buffalo asleep in our way. I turned and whispered to MrsMac, "Have you ever tipped a cow before?"
MrsMac being a city gal said, "no." So I said, "watch."
I slowly walked up to the buffalo and at about the shoulder area of the beast a pushed really hard and the buffalo toppled over.
As the buffalo started to snort and cough as he/she tried to gather its wits, we ran down the path to the dingy dock holding hand and laughing the whole way. We jumped into the dingy, fired up the outboard and tore back to Mad Max.
Thinking back, it's amazing what you do when your are young and oh yeah "toasted."
