He took his 48 foot trawler outside the south jettie in Galveston Sat
night.

Somehow he managed to get washed up in the surf. Said he lost his
starter, has a single 6-71 detroit. We were up last night till 3
getting the coast guard and sea tow on location. The Coast guard will
no go in that shallow in the surf and get him. And the sea tow boats
did not have the power to get him off. A 35 foot twin engine searay
just took off to go try to get him, but I feel they are wasting there
time. The guy who owns the trawler has only had it 3 months. It a
Bruce roberts Steel hull. Going to listen on the VHF as soon as my
friend gets on site. Somehow I have the feeling he going to lose his
boat without the efforts of a really big supply boat and a quarter
mile long BA Hauser. The trawler has a really deep keel and if its
buried it will take several 1000 HP to yank him out. On top of the the
guy who owns the trawler had a stroke a couple of years ago and has
lost use of one arm. His crew is a little phillipino girl that has
never been on a boat.

If the Tropical wave builds and hits today thats in the gulf all will
be lost.

Its a shame, Nice trawler...

I have access to a 60 foot crewboat with 2 12-71 TI's. If my buddie
cant get him off we may give it a go with the crewboat. Problem is the
crew boat was bought last week and hasent had any real testing of its
seaworthyness. Its a X Corp of engineers boat we just brought back for
Morgan City LA. and has some real thin spots on the hull. But the
engines are fresh and strong.

I told the guy to just go fish here in the bay, told him were to
catch some really big flounders, but did he listen? NOOOoooooooo. I
told him to paint his decks white to help out his AC's but did he
listen? Nooooooooooo. I told him not to pass that tow to wait but did
he listen Noooooooo, and got a big hickey down the side when he was
sucked into the Tugboat on the ICW. Some people including this guy are
just thick as a brick.

The fun around here never ceases.

That's a shame. I listened to the VHF ( my new handheld, works great BTW)
Sun., where a guy called in a Mayday because he was ''on the rocks''.
Entertaining.

Not so entertaining... we saw a large fishing boat washed up on the beach at
the
Santa Cruz entrance. Missed the harbor in the fog somehow. Before they
realized
it they were sideways on the beach. Fortunately, they all managed to get off
before
the surf started really pounding. I didn't stick around, but it looked like
the CG was
having a heck of time trying to hold it steady while they got off. I doubt
there was
much left. This was a few years ago.

That's rough. I don't know what's wrong with Scotty Potty being entertained by
someone running aground. Great use of his bargain basement VHF.
Note: He's never told anyone which one he bought!

RB

do a google search asshole.
