I would have done the same thing you did under those circumstances. Thank you for being concerned and following up.

...that sounds, voices and conversations travel great distances on the lake - and whether or not you are in the mood to share your conversations, you are generally doing so, especially on quiet days (and especially nights!) I am often amazed at what I can hear sitting on my dock or beach as boats pass along off shore! BE CAREFUL - people may not be listening, but they can hear you!

BTW APS - I would have done the same thing!

And BTW, when folks are out on the boat traveling at 35mph, be careful what you yell to be heard above the boat noise. We can hear you a quarter mile away.

Maybe it's me but I have a real hard time understanding what APS wrote and what the outcome finally was.

I just read this whole post and now I have a headache and need to take a nap.

Followup—one month to the day:

Yesterday—in super-great sailing weather—I encountered a familiar red boat deep-trolling in The Broads.

Our paths were slowly converging anyway, so I sailed closer—pointed over my shoulder—and asked, "Were you fishing over there last month?".

Red Boat: Very likely.
ApS:....... Did you hear a call for help?
Red Boat: You called it in?
ApS:.........It was a call for help. >> shrug <<
Red Boat: That was me.
ApS:........What was the reason?
Red Boat: I'd caught a 10-pound Lake Trout.
ApS:........Sounds big...just asking...thanks for the info.

(FLL got it ex-act-ly right).

This whole thread is a great example of what makes the Lakes Region such a wonderful place... and I'm not even a boater.

Reading it again and I'm all smiles...
