Don't feel bad about an old boat: a brand-new all-white 28-foot SeaRay broke down and anchored off my place Saturday afternoon. (And drifted about 300-feet while dragging his anchor

) After only five minutes, some discreet arm-waving got the attention of a passing boater.

After a short tow backwards, the towline was unwrapped from the SeaRay's outdrive and prop

. He did get towed home—about one mile distant.

BTW: A compact disk (a CD) makes a great signaling mirror.
