Not bad. I've been towed once in 13 years so you're way ahead!
Now how many times have you supplied a tow? I've done it at least once
per season, usually for other sailboats and a couple of Jetskis.

I have a 1,600 ton freight and towing licences. I've towed several
hundred things including bullwinkle.

Ah! No, I meant under recreational circumstances, such as when out
with Redcloud!

Ohh. Many many times. My favorite was returning one year after racing
in the LYC Harvest Moon Regetta. We took the ICW back along with many
others. After crossing Aransas bay a P- 30 type boat got out of the
channel and ran aground near Blackjack point. They had a crew of two
couples, none of the other fin boats could get close enough to tow
them. We dropped the sails, pulled up the board and were able to get
within monkey's fist range of them. The girls were crying loudly in
the bkdg on the radio as they were in a massive swarm of mosquitos. We
yanked them back into the channel without a problem. I carry a 200ft
2" poly pro line with thimbles for just that porpose. They were very
grateful to say the least.

I wonder if Bob has a towing endorsement on his license. Oh wait, no
license. I hope he didn't accept money for the tow.
