Good on you Cam, you provided a great service to them as well as a great day at the office for you!

I'm wondering what T-37 it was, as I know of one new owner who was planning on relocating at about this time.

Did you have a tow license before doing such?

Thanks for helping out your fellow sailors without prejudice. Just hope they do not sue you when they learn Seatow would of done it without damaging their boat and they finally realize how much that rudder replacement will be!!!

Any damage other than the rudder?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Sorry for the delay in response as I lost internet in the storm for about 18 hours. To answer a few questions raised:

The boat name was WHIM out of Philly.

Don't know what kind of power boat I was on but it looked like a 30' or larger version of this one below...with an inboard Catapiller engine and deep V keel.

He could not kedge off as he was lying parallel to shore with the mast tilted to shore.

There was no apparent damage other than the rudder and whatever was wrong with the engine. Of note...earlier on the day they left I smelled gas/diesel as we pulled their boat into the dock and told the captain that he should check it. Don't know if that will prove a factor.

Sorry dawg...no pix. I thought about it but my digital ain't waterproof!

Finally...it was NOT THAT bad and we were perfectly safe and took no risks so don't assume any special bravery on my part...I really don't deserve ANY kudos but thanks for the thoughts. I hope you enjoyed the tale and maybe took away a lesson or two and I hope I have the chance to do some more of this in the future as it was a good adventure.

Cam - way to go. Watch out...it could be contagious!

I used to be in mountain search and rescue in Colorado for several years. It was a volunteer organization and the adrenaline rush is one thing that kept everyone around.

When you going to join the coasties?
