codeman... Great post.. thanks for helping to bring this back on topic..
I have a question in regards to the MP which may also explain why they did not come to aid you.
I once had a significant engine problem (my outboard snapped off the back of my boston whaler)
A MP in the area came up because they could see I was in distress. I hooked up a tow line and was about to toss it to him and he said "sorry I am not allowed to tow you"
Apparently they are there to protect and serve except when you need them most...
Anyone else run into this? Anyone know why? I assume they don't want to be the "Towboat US" business but a tow to the nearest dock for safety sake seems reasonable.
Just thinking that he may have seen you but figured he can't tow you and you weren't in immediate danger...
