Default Thank You

As a follow up to my towing story. The guy stopped by as I
was tying up yesterday. He apologized for not thanking me,
said he was just so upset ( understandable) , and then
thanked me about 5 times.

My faith in mankind is restored.

Thats Cool.

The guy in the shed next to me had a Cougar powerboat:

He needed to pull the engines so I towed him to the travel lift slip
with my dink. He said he would let me drive it across the bay a few
times when he put the engines back in...and the SOB sold the boat and
bought a giant clorox bottle powerboat I'd never be caught dead on.

From now on it's cash up front for towing powerboats.

It's so easy to jump to wrong conclusions when stress is going on...

Years ago, when the water levels on the Great Lakes first fell by about
2.5', we ran aground in an area we used to sail over with impunity. A
couple in a Catalina 30 pulled us off, and we waved and yelled "thanks" as
they departed, but I'm not sure they heard us. So later we took them a case
of beer.

Better late than never.

Better than the time we were sailing along and passsed a certain Union
sitting off the point...we waved happult as we passed by hoping they
were having a nice lunch parked in irons...later, when they arrived back
at the dock, they wondered why we didn't stop and help them unground
themselves...
