>was stuck all by myself on a remote lake in northern Quebec many moons ago with a Beech 18 on floats and a fu.ked starter.

I managed to start it with a rope....

So churn that one around and figure out how I did it.<

Chuck

Let me guess !

you tied the long rope to the back of a speed boat and the other end to the Beech18 on floats.

Speed boat careered down the lake at full throttle with the aircraft in tow on the rope.

On reaching rotation speed you took to the air and then did an airstart.

You then became the tow plane with now the speedboat attached to you.

You and the speed boat were seen climbing into the distance with behind the speedboat a water skier who you both had forgotten about who himself was also attached to a rope.

The water skier caught his ski as you all cleared the distant shoreline on a washing line outside some busty blondes home.

You, The speedboat, the water skier and thirty yards of washing line draped with all manner of naughty underwear vanished into the distant yonder.

Did I get it right ?
