I have an interesting story on the other side. I belong to a great YC in RI. Everyone is very helpful. I got to the club on a Saturday last year during a blow and my friend and I saw a small (16-18') hunter with it's headsail flapping in the mooring field. We asked the launch driver to take us out to the boat.. He was not impressed but agreed. The roller
furling was all knotted up and we were flopping around like crazy. We did what we could and got it tied down a lot better than it was. When we got back, we found out that the office had been calling the owner for over a week to let him know what was going on. Had I known that, I wouldn't have risked the bath on a snotty day. I wonder if that is why some places stopped calling/trying to help.
