We ended up being dead in the water at the South tip of Lopez Island, WA in the San Juan Islands last Summer. The swells were "ONLY" 4' at the time. Called the Islander Restaurant where we had just been to get the # of US Tow Boats and the owner said "I know a guy". Next thing ya know the "Guy" was rescuing us and towing us into Mckay Harbor. He has nick named me DBR or Dead Boat Ron. We became good friends and had him Shrimping recently with us.
