Re: Sign of the times - A rant
If I see someone with a hatch up, I always slow to see if they need assistance. Most of the time they will give the ok sign. I've towed and been towed numerous occasions.

Re: Sign of the times - A rant
last time I was stopped i nhte middle of the lake with my hatch up many powerboats cruised by, but three fishermen and one rented 20' sea ray stopped to see how things were going.... we were okay, only lost one motor, was sitting discusted and having a beer before heading back in on one motor....
There are lots of people who talk the talk and are the friendliest in the world, as long as it is convenient, very few actually walk the walk....... :( |

Re: Sign of the times - A rant
Its the same here in South Florida. I remember when people used to wave when you went by. Some still do,.... if there are girls on the boat. At least we have enough Boat US and Sea Tow boats around, if you don't mind waiting a few hours for them to show up.
Even if you don't want to tow someone in, you could at least stop to see if they are OK and need anything, especially if the hatch is open with smoke coming out..... |
