RE: Prepare to tow or be towed.

Carey,

There are many places in SE Alaska where the nearest CG water unit is 100 miles away and the local watermen are nearby. They listen and respond to channel 16.

Point was, those locals are not afraid or reluctant to help out in a emergency, and many times they would prefer to help each other.
