Said he just got the boat, from a charity sale. Looked like
a mess. No sails on the boat, but a spinn pole was hanging
from the front of the mast.

That could come in handy.


.... I saw him motoring around when I
sailed in, then he was anchored in the river yelling Ahoy!
Ahoy!. So I towed him in.

Yes, a time honored nautical hail meaning "I require
assistance. I am out of chocolate-chip cookies."
