It's funny now but I needed a tow whis weekend off Emerald Isle NC with my Supercat - lost a pin and the mast came down 2 miles from shore with a strong sea breeze- I did a distress signal for less than a minute and a kind fisherman- boat name "WILD HAIR" towed me all the way to the surf zone. I asked him to just call the tow people but he said no they charge too much. Meanwhile the towing company came by and asked if we were OK, then ran to shore to check the surf conditions, came back and checked again as a coutresy- and followed us most of the way. I paddled from about 6' of water ashore and had minor damage- I wonder how I can find that fisherman- I should have memorized his registration # but I was working hard to keep the mast from dragging too much in the waves.
