We had an incident last summer on Lake Superior. Several guys in a go-fast bass boat with about one foot of freeboard were frantically waving for us to stop, so we did. (They had no business being on Lake Superior in the size and type of boat they were in and the condition it was in. And they had no VHF radio). They were Texans who had come up north to fish. Anyway, their huge outboard engine wouldnt start and they were adrift. We were not in a position to tow because of we were carrying our dinghy on our swim platform and the Texans looked unsavory in any event. Therefore, we called the Coast Guard who went through their lengthy questions. We stood by, about 100 feet away while the CG decided what they were going to do. The CG finally got another vessel in the vicinity to come and tow the Texans and meanwhile finally sent one of their own boats out to check on the situation. My point however in all of this is that the fishermen never offered one word of thanks, even though they had flagged us down. Oh well.
