Stuck at Sea, Calibougue Sound, Hilton Head Island

Eric and Chris tow the Whaler back to marina ...

Turns out the fuel pump went bad.

Oyster Cracker of a day...

Storytime:
Set out solo on this Monday morning by heading South to check the conditions.  The tide was ripping, and it was a bit choppy, so turned the boat around and headed North...but then the motor bogged and quit.  About 100 foot of anchor line was let out, but it would not grab in the 60+ foot deep water.  Made some phone calls for a tow in, and finally the anchor grabbed, otherwise the boat would have drifted out to sea or to Tybee Island.  Thankfully, the guys arrived and towed the boat to safety.

On this windy day, after fishing, on our way back in on Broad Creek, we heard some yelling and turned to see a guy and gal waving for help.  We turned around, and assisted them.  He mentioned that the impeller was broke, and they needed a tow to the access ramp.  So, he tied a few dock lines together, and us and the we towed them and their boat to safety.

Pesky little bugger was finally caught on a Gulp Shrimp.
Go-Pro Bonnethead smiling, or is she frowning ?
