That boat on Saturday night was spotted by me. I saw the flares go off. It was a 30' Flybridge that lost engine power and I spotted it heading up on eagle island. Luckily theowner of the boat dropped anchor in time. He was only in 3' of water. I got on 16 and radioed marine patrol but they were not "ON DUTY" which I think is the most assanine ridiculous thing I have ever heard, however thats another thread in itself. Luckily, SeaTow was in Sachem Cove and met me out there to assist the boater. Sea Tow hooked up and saved the day while I stood by. THe boat was then handed off to Lake Tow and All was well.

I still can't believe that the law enforcement and rescue body on our lake was off duty at the most important time as I see it. There was noone out on the lake and noone to help. If someone falls in time is so critical right now, yet they are not on duty? Seems ridiculous.

Cheers,
Will
