Note the date - this was the guy I called the Coast Guard for *last*
week.
And... it happened again today at 3rd. Someone broke off a fin in the
channel; conditions were about 4.0 near the shore at the time and
presumably more in the channel. A friend of his, Jeff, came in to get a
fin. Luckily, he knew what kind of finbox he needed. He went out with
the fin about 6:00 as I was leaving. After last week's towing attempts,
I am convinced that taking spare equipment out to the downed sailor is the
best way to get someone in.
Jerome, did he get in okay?
