That other captain sounded like he had a cooler full of empties!

Most definitely!

I thought he might heel over when you first started the tow.😄

@CaptKenO Жыл бұрын

LOL. This one wasn't too bad all things considered. I've had some where I've really leaned the boat over and was afraid the people were going to fall off

Great videos! Does closed captionig work ?

Thanks Rea! It's auto generated by KZfaq, so some of the videos it's available and some it's not. For the ones it is, I can't say how accurate it is though 🤷

Now that what I call getting in and getting your feat wet…lol I wonder how they were really there…

@CaptKenO Жыл бұрын

It turns out that the throttle linkage broke, so they only had idle speed...apparently not enough to control where they were going

That is some shallow murky water

Sure was. This is about as close to between the inlets in Venice and Sarasota, so it never really gets much clearer than this...a little bit but not much

Freedom Boat club 😮

Yep. Used to work for them as a dock master, a club manager, and as a training captain for their new members.

Hi mate, what's ur draft? Just curious, when uv got to go in close to the small boats aground, not to bad when it's a yacht. Good rescue, ur right he's had a few too many. U know there's a problem when the captain doesn't even know his motor trims up out of the water. It really worries me these people are out there on the water. 😲🤔🤣👍💪 I wonder what was the woman in the back trying to hide from the camera. Yes Sir!!!

@CaptKenO Жыл бұрын

Thanks Sea Wench! The draft was about 24in, but we could power through about 18in depending on the type of bottom we were in. I'm guessing she was hiding empties...Not saying the captain was drinking before they broke down since it took me probably an hour and a half to get to them from when we first got notified, and who knows how long they had been there before we even got the call, but you never know...🤔

Sabatooted. That's how he plays it off in front of his guests. Prolly better he gets towed in.

Does the stranded captain sound like he's had one too many?

@CaptKenO 8 ай бұрын

Or 3 to many...

Nice job wonder what was actually wrong with the boat

@CaptKenO Жыл бұрын

Thanks Brian! If I remember correctly, the throttle linkage broke on the engine side of the throttle cable. On these Mercury 150s, it's made of plastic
