Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

A bunch of people are whining about some money being given to/accepted by some people who made bad decisions/got taken advantage of. To be honest, the haters sound jealous. But hating on them for it...

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

It was "you" in the 3rd person. Many people here seem to be bent out of shape over how others donate their money. There's far worse things they could be donating to.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

Whether you are sympathetic to this story or not, there's lots worse things on Gofundme asking for your money, such as crack whores who killed their own children through their negligence and want you...

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

Wow, she finally answered SOMEONE. Even if she did have to repeat the "get off my dock" story for no reason again.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

Nobody refused to tow her either. Not one single person in here said "I will not tow you." Nobody in their right mind is going to volunteer to tow someone without some details. If you're going to ask...

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

No one refused to help her. She refuses to help herself when she refuses to respond to people trying to help her. The only people she responds to are those who tell her what she wants to hear.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

Except that she said in the beginning that her engine runs fine. And now she says it's overheating... which doesn't explain why she can't go under bridges or navigate around Islands as she said.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

And now that she has FINALLY explained that she is engineless, we're back to the issue of abandoning a possibly foundering vessel at sea (to do her secret work (engine repair?)). Unless she now...

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

I got the impression she was physically overheating because she's in Florida, otherwise why would you want to be towed out to open water with no engine on an unfamiliar boat? She still hasn't...

Yeah, that, but I didn't get it from what you wrote.

Possibly, but I don't think that's even the right word.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

How does it make sense if you have to guess at what's going on? Nothing she actually said indicated she was in over her head. Needing help with an unfamiliar situation is not over your head, but what...

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

It does. Why does a boat that has a working engine need to be encumbered by towing to maneuver? Makes no sense at all. Now if you said you needed a captain, that'd make perfect sense.

Re: NEED A TOW ASAP

Whatever their reasons are, or whatever the real problems are, if the boat is driveable, they need a captain, not a potentially hazardous tow.

I bought a 30 foot Catalina in good shape last...
