Yeah, I would call the MP's. Sure. Don't mean to be a naysayer but both times I have called them, I really didn't get much response. Granted, on a weekend, they usually have someone on the lake. And in fairness to the MP's, my calls were not any kind of emergency.

A boat captains first responsibility is to his or her own vessel, passengers and crew. You should never jeopardize that in offering assistance. My old pontoon is not gonna do much good towing a lot of boats. But I could come alongside and offer a ride to safety from the weather you mentioned. I guess I'm just saying it's kinda like offering a ride to someone whose car is broke down. I've never accepted payment, just said do the same for someone else when you get the chance. I've been on both sides.

My boat is so old I just have it listed for liability on my homeowners. It's really not worth insuring. It came with the house cause the previous owner didn't have a place to keep it or way to move it. It floats, runs (most of the time) and it's paid for. It ain't pretty but it's a boat and I'm not complaining.

Peace,
