We Fished about 30 minutes.. Nada... Headed back in to the pass.. Well saw a boat tied up toa channel marker.. WL&F was there.. Getting the peps off boat... I called on VHF... I agreed to tow their boat back to ICY..

Man, 2 hrs later. A thunderstorm hit us as we get into the 4 mile.. Lightning all over..



Made It to the landing. Get the broken boat to the Wharf.. It was raining sideways. Blowin 30-35 knots....... Finally got the boat on the trailer, 3 of us are soaking wet.

Winds will be blowing in the upper 20's for rest of week into next week..

Karma. I towed a guy in last year from Pavy Reef and not long ago, I broke a prop shaft in the bay and got a tow from south of Dry Reef back. Always offer to help.
