Funny story icejohn.Few years back on my old boat (21' striper seaswirl) took it out to Brenton reef (RI) and as soon as we got there and ran a drift for bass the engine would not start back up. long story short one of the wires in the engine melted somehow and upon calling sea tow they wanted $1100 to tow us back. I laughed. Called the coastguard and asked them if they could tow us in and they said no. Called them again and said our anchor line was too short (it was - 120' of water) and we were drifting away to sea towards block island and the open ocean. They called back and said they were running ashes out to sea and would grab us on the way back. Sure enough they did and I could not thank them enough! I offered them all $$ to grab lunch but they declined. I ended up sending them a nice letter and gift card to subway as a thank you.
