This 36' C&C was following the surveyor's instructions to run the old fuel out of the tank. I found them off Waldron Is.
In the half hour it took to try and bleed the engine they burned up the starter. The simple fuel delivery then turned into a tow.
But wait, there's more.
Twenty minutes into the tow their anchor deployed. It took 90 minutes to weigh it. Seems as though the anchor was not secured on the roller and MY towline caused the anchor to deploy. (That's never happened in 1,000 plus tows.). After reminding the strand that I'd passed HIM the bridle, there was no more discussion.
The good news was that we ended up in Anacortes and Trish returned to Friday Harbor in time for the annual fireworks show. We anchored out in Hick's Bay with the A-1 gang and watch both shows on San Juan and Lopez. Once again, Lopez kicked San Juan's butt.

Your adventures never fail to amaze me Richard. Glad you made it back in time for the July 4th. fireworks. Well now we await MS. "World" on Monday. Now THAT would be a tow for you!!
Good Watch
