Why didn't you just use the membership? with the motor strait why didn't you make the call? At 5 mph it would have been a 4 hr cruse from 20 miles out.


Jeff I always and still have Sea tow membership. My problem is I'm not in an area where there is much available.
If I'm 20 miles out on Lake Michigan I'm out of luck it will be a lot longer than 4 hours to get back. It will be 4 hours before I would be able to drum up a tow plus the trip back, we are talking a whole day. (don't ask me how I know)

Bob it was great for you to have a crew with strong legs.

If possible carry spare parts/tools and always hope you don't have to use SeaTow.
