Catamaran Capsizes

I'm surprise to see the marine patrol towing the boat. I heard a number of times that the marine patrol will tell you to call the marina or Sea Tow for a tow. In fact, I was with a boat that was hydro locked and smashing up into the beach next to Harra's Landing. Someone called the marine patrol and he basically stand by until Sea Tow came to the rescue. The boat suffered considerable damage from the wave actions on the beach.

I'm surprised too. Our son was out in his boat one day and broke down and MP told him they don't tow. Guess they do sometimes...

They may be the only ones on the lake this early in the season capable of towing.

SIKSUKR as for no PFD, have you ever used a dry suit? It will keep you afloat a lot better then a PFD, providing there are no leaks. Even a good quality wet suit will keep you at water level without weights to bring you down.
