Hey Bassackwards, you are a great man for what you did(PARENT WITH BABIES AND THOSE FOLK SHOULD BE THANKFUL), and the good man above will reward you for your actions. I pulled a guy with dead motor, and my boat has a mere 25 hspwr engine, and he had a bigger boat as well with an inboard 3ltr v-6, he was very happy that day because we were in the middle of the lake and no wind.... the second incident was a sail-club member that fell off the sail boat with no pfd-and we saw him go in on a bad wind storm, his bud was jibbing the jib, I don't know sail talk, and we scooped him up and got him back to the sail boat. I feel that I would be payed 10 fold for my actions, and I was with some great fishing days, but more important, my kids saw what we need to do for our fellow boaters-even the ding dongs that shake and wake us or cross our lines-that's fishing-boating....

YOU DID A GREAT DEED!!!

TIGHTLINES.....

Yeah Darius, and Charlie. I knew that you are supposed to help whenever possible. I took my Captains license when I was in the Marines, and that was one of the things that we went over. I have towed two boats this year so far. I just hope if theres ever a time I'm in need, I get the same response.

If only someone could have snapped a picture of a canoe towing a mastercraft. That would have been a keeper for sure! Good work helping out, those little folding emergency paddles really are just for show, I know from unfortunate experience!

You're a good man Mitch.

Thanks everyone. Like I said not trying to pat myself on the back, just paying it forward.

I do wish I had a pic though. That would be an instant classic.
