I happened to tow a disabled pontoon boat from Belknap Point area to the Gilford Town dock adjacent to the MP dock about 3:30 pm on Monday, 5/29. Our blue and white 22' Chris Craft bowrider isn't exactly like an MP vessel though.

We were out on Sunday for a nice leisurely cruise from West Alton to go around Rattlesnake and back, all at headway speed. Won't talk about the bonehead that passed by me between Cub and Treasure by cutting across my bow then turning toward Minge Cove, all the while throwing a 2 - 2.5 foot wake within 30-40 feet of me and 100 feet of Treasure.

Got on the broads side of Rattlesnake and found 16 ft outboard runabout with two adults, two teenagers, and a chocolate lab with an engine that had conked out. Ended up doing an extended run over to Roberts Cove to drop them off. On our way out of Roberts, a boat we had passed on our way in asked if we were with TowBoatUS. I replied "I wish I was", remembering my breakdown a few years ago and my $385 tow. I did join towboatUS the following year.
