So yesterday afternoon, my Mom and niece and nephew came out for the day on the Benni with the wife & I.
We were headed back to the dock and I thought I heard someone yelling "hey"... kinda shrugged it off, but then heard it again, and saw a guy about 1/4 mile away waving his arms and yelling.
I started to head his way, at that distance could not tell if he was facing us or toward some other boaters out in the disatnce.
Well we get closer and lo and behold, he was out of gas. He was with his wife, and I assumed son & wife and their dog.
So I hook him up and tow him about 1/2 mile to the marina, unhooked him, jumped in, and pulled him up to shore line.
He asked what do I owe you, I thought for a moment and told him "pass it on" ........ "That's what we do" .... can't say if it was the "Marine" in me or the "boater" in me maybe both, but I felt really good about helping him out ....
(I did take notice his "Quest" also came from my dealer, so I try to "represent" them too)
He did come over as I was climbing back on board and handed me a $20 bill, I told him to keep it, but he insisted I take it .... so maybe lunch today will be on him ....
