I hate these call at Sea Tow. We have to go out in this hairy crap to get them.

You arrive on scene cursing at the stupidity that put them out there and me at risk. First question, do you notice any 75 to 100 foot party boats out here? Do you know why? It's stressful to run on those tow calls calling for all your skills, and knowing good sense said leave the dock lines on. We lost a boat 2 Falls ago on a similar situation by the coast station on sailboat with a less experienced tow boat captain. Luckily no one was hurt. But our boat was destroyed.

Back to AHMM? Trailer guys? PA home? LOL

Some people just don't understand or respect the ocean. They where in a 22ft lake boat not a ocean boat. When it get's that nasty out there stay home or fish from shore. It's not worth your life or the lives of others. I have seen pontoon boats ...row boats... jet skies fishing a few miles offshore this summer. It's crazy!
