BK "Of interest, my bud who owns a Ford dealership crossed Lake Michigan on jet ski a few weeks back. His teenaged son went with, and even though they figured mpg, the son ran out of gas 4 miles out from the Michigan shore, so, the dad marked him with his gps and went and got fuel. Lesson, when you do something stupid like this, make sure you take a gps of some sort..." Another GPS story A couple weeks ago I'm at work in my office(harbormaster for a small fishing community in southeast Alaska) and I hear a conversation come up on the VHF radio, channel 16 about mid afternoon. Some guy has rented a 22 foot cruiser, has 3 other people with him and has gone out fishing. He's calling for assistance as it seems he doesn't know where he is. You could cut the fog with a knife this day. One of our local fishing boats who is coming in from a fishing trip answers him to try and help. The lost guy has no idea where he is. He knows he left our community this morning and thought he could find his way to the ocean for a day of fishing. He's low on fuel and has anchored up but is concerned he may get blown on the beach if his anchor doesn't hold( a clue he found the ocean) and they are all wet and cold. The Coast Guard comes up on the radio and asks if they need assistance. They say they are OK for now, just waiting for the fog to lift. Fishing boat continues in to town. Owner of rented boat heads out in second boat to try and find him. Coast Guard send chopper to look for them. Owners search boat main engine breaks down and he limps back toward town on kicker. Calls me and asks if I'll go out and get this guy. Coast Guard has at least located them and their location is now known. Myself and a second person head quickly to our harbor S&R vessel. It's nearly dark and I want to get to them while I can still see a bit. Fire things up and head out. Get to them about 45 minutes later. They are OK, wet and very cold and quite happy to see us. They have no GPS. It is now pitch dark and we're in a small bay on the edge of the ocean. I know I can run in the dark with Garmin chart plotter but also know having this guy run in the dark would be suicidal. We tow him 20 miles back to town working our way through small islands and channels, rocks and nav markers. Arrive about midnight. Going boating in Alaska? GPS, don't leave home without it.
