Thanks Tonk. My PC went down. I guess SAtarband loss signal.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner.

Our son and his wife were in their boat a good while back and one of the two engines quit working. The place where they keep their boat would not let them back in.

The boat was disabled and the generator blew a head gasket. They spent a week In international waters with no lights power, etc. before they could get some help.

They made it back to the Marina. But the owner would not let them in.

BTW will the USCG help just anyone?
