Well...get a call at 1900 from "Marty", stranded on his boat off Waikiki and needed some help. Said he needed some oil, boat won't start. So I call "Tim" to ride with me.
We only made 1 dive today because the wind is blowing 15 mph and the swells were about 5 ft., needless to say I was not looking foward to the 8 miles over to get him.
After running the 7 knots bumpy A.... ride, (I was planning just to take him into Ali Wie, which was 1 mile away) I give him his requested oil, nope, not the problem, well, I did not that it had a low oil cutoff! He ACTUALLY looks for a problem at that point and finds a broken wire on the Nuetral lockout of the ignition.
So here I am awake at 1130, at least I didn't have to tow him back.
Did I mention "Marty" is the Brainiac that dropped the Crown of thorns on my hand that ended up hospitalizing me 2 times????:shakehead
