Had something like that happen last year on 40 Mile. Boat in the distance just looked "odd" and wasn't moving, got closer to see they had a life jacket on an oar and were waving it to get attention. They could not get the new to them boat into drive. Teamed up with another boat to tow them back and ferry some of the occupants (took weight off the tow line). Glad I listened to my instinct to check them out.
