Hey Slowpoke, you should be happy you took the boat out yesterday. Just think, if you had gone anotehr day, perhaps on your own, chances are the same thing would have happened, would the police have been so close? The Coast Gaurd?. Be thankfull it happened when help was so close, you had company and it's the beginning of the season so hopefully a minimal amount of fishing time will be lost as a result. I hope is and inexpensive and easy fix.
