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.
