On Friday August 5 at about 3:30pm as we were entering Paugus Bay,our boat ran out of gas about 100 yards from the Thurston Marina gas docks. My husband had to jump in the water and try to walk/swim/guide the boat to the dock. A helpful young man on a blue wave runner took our bow line and assisted with towing us.There was a family in a pontoon boat at the dock purchasing gas who saw our situation,grabbed our line, and helped guide our boat to a spot so we would be secure and fuel up. The young ladies working at the gas pumps also helped us secure our boat, assisted us with refueling, and when our boat wouldn't start they brought one of the mechanics out to see if he could get it going. Several boaters going by who saw the open engine hatch offered jump starts,cell phone use,etc. We would just like to thank everyone who assisted us in safely dealing with our problem. There are plenty of good people in this world and we appreciate them!
