Last fall I helped a guy in a small sailboat who lost his engine in Porlier Pass trying to go against the tide. He maydayed and I was the closest guy as I was fishing the other side. I lost gear because as I slowed down talking to the coast guiard I picked up two dogfish and cut the lines to speed up my rescue. I towed him all the way to the government dock on Galiano. I barely got a thanks except from the coast guard who were very greatful.
Today I was in Howe Sound just south of Boyer Island and I noticed a boat acting "funny" I motored over and a guy was paddling!! an old Reinell of about 20 ft. He was out of gas. He said he had called Sewell's and Suinset on his cell phone but they were too busy to deliver gas. He was paddling right into the path of the Gibson's ferry and didn't seem too concerned. I towed him back to Sunset and I get a wave. Not can I give you some gas money or buy you a beer. I wouldn't have accepted anything but it would have been nice to get an offer.
I feel like unless a guy is dieing is just leaving these losers to their own ungrateful fate but I believe in karma I guess. What do you guys think?
