Last night we decided to go check out one of our favorate destinations
around here. It's a bridge around 15 miles away that has a huge
population of bats living under it, and at sundown its great to watch
them take off and start eating bugs.
Do you tow everyone you see in need? Even if it's going to ruin your
trip?

The last time I towed anyone it was a disabled PWC on a busy three day
holiday weekend. All they needed was a tow over to the beach where
their friends were frolicking, blissfully unaware of the problem. No
problem, says I and I toss them a line and off we go. When I get as
close to the beach as my draft will allow, I tell them to untie and
I'll retrieve the line. They had quite a problem getting the line
untied on their end and they drifted around to the point that the line
was jammed between the top of my rudder and my hull, disabling my
rudder. I then had to anchor and go swimming to free the line, which
was firmly jammed. Finally I was free and able to move on, swearing I
would think twice before helping another damn PWC.
Oh, did I mention that the PWC's passengers were two hot young babes
in very skimpy bikinis? Would I have stopped to help two dirt ball
guys, who are usually riding those things? Maybe, but probably not
Will I do it again? Depends
