We paddled for a good 1/2 hr but didn't want to sleep on the lake so overboard I went and tow rope attached I swan her in. Saw a few of the ignorant clowns that passed us by earlier still at the launch. Had I not had my son in tow (literally) I'd of given em all a fine how'd ya do!

Needless to say whatever the reason, I help every time I can period!
Wow, I never thought that common sense and decency was lost. Just wow. Thought boaters generally were a good lot.
