How to call for help!
Nov 18th, 2010 at 11:15am
 
This video is sort of funny to me, but you would be surprised at the number of people who call me, don't have the boat in neutral. Grin Also check out the old wooden tow post in the Sea Tow boat.

Ha, I am sure it's a fairly high amount. I'm sure everyone has said, "WTF my boat won't start?" and noticed that at some point. Hopefully before they called you Smiley

They really get mad when I ask over the phone before I respond and they swear that it is in neutral. Then I get on scene and it's not! I try to cut them a break, but I have to pay my expenses to respond.

I'd bet at least half of those calls are booze related.
