Well that is just ducky, so your out on the lake and the cell towers do not pick up your tone. And I have not seen signs anywhere with their phone number on it. so they can monitor 24-7 and what do you do? Maybe their are public telephone booths on all islands.
Some may say your on your own out their, but look at what happened last night and today for the poor fellow that fell off the Mount.
Years gone by, if you had trouble you did not need sea tow people were there and would lend a hand, and some still do. I know if I see someone in trouble I will stop and try to help them.
