[QUOTE="Buzzkill, post: 108679, member: 3596"] Posting this here is a long shot but maybe my thanks will find its way to the persons involved. If nothing else it is worth sharing a positive story about our fellow sportsman. I want to sincerely thank the two gentlemen and lady that were kind enough to tow my boat back to the dock this morning at Beaver Bay-Lake Oahe. I lost power to my engine suddenly while traveling south out of Beaver Bay. I tried and checked everything I could think of (battery, fuses, wiring harnesses, manual start etc.) before finally giving up on getting the motor started. I tried to limp back to the dock with my trolling motor and made it about 4 miles into a pretty stiff side wind until the trolling motor batteries were dead. The wind had picked up and I was dead in the water. I have never had this happen to me before, what an incredibly horrible feeling. Out of options at this point, I waved down the fist passerby for assistance and luckily enough they were willing to give me a tow back to the dock. It was windy, and the lake was rough but we were able to safely reach the dock and get my boat loaded. I easily cost these guys two hours of fishing time this morning, not to mention all the potential dangers that come with towing another boat into the ramp/dock in high winds. After all their help and assistance, the younger gentlemen wouldn't accept the very little cash I had in my wallet as my self admittedly pitiful offer of thanks. These folks were in a black and white Skeeter (I think) with a 150HP Suzuki and I believe the drivers name was Tim. There is nothing I can do to thank these people enough. I was in a bad spot and they saved my ass big time. If anybody knows who these folks are please pass along my sincerest thanks. I will do my best to pay it forward and show others the kindness I was offered today. If I am ever able to meet these people again, drinks are on me and thanks again! [/QUOTE]
