I don’t even know what to make of this one but here it goes. Thursday were in front of the beach and it’s raining like mad. As were trolling along we see a number of waverunners. No big deal but there’s one and all three people are in the water. At first I thinking are they ok. I look at the guy I’m with and he asks me the same question. But they’re in the water holding on to the runner and their talking and such. So we pass them and so are a number of other boats. They didn’t look like they were in distress. We make a full circle and are heading back in. When we see this wave runner being pulled in be an older couple. As were as the launch they come up, a mother and a boy about 15 with a girl about the same age. Are bitching that they were broken down for over two hours and had been in the water swimming and one would help! We look at each other and told them that we didn’t know that the were stranded that they didn’t make any effort to call out to us or we would of assisted, we thought they were just swimming. Now dark is coming and we are loading the boat, so what do I hear the boy say to another girl on the beach your lucky you didn’t go out first. This is as he’s trying to get it started for another ride! :rolleyes:

Good story Lawnboy,, That just goes as a reminder, to everyone,
don't be emabarassed to call out for help if you're ever in trouble. I don't care how big and strong some of you guys are, or how much experience you have. In some cases you just need some help. So don't be embarassed. I had a similar situation last fall, deer hunting, couple a duck hunters lost their canoe,(somehow) and the batteries in their FRS went dead. They were trapped out on the lake in the pitch dark. Luckily they were screaming loud or they might still be out there.

Lawnboy, they had no reason to bitch about anything. You need to signal to somebody that you need help. Also, I can't believe that they were in the water for 2 hours, unless they had wetsuits. The water temp. is still in the mid to upper 50's, their lips would have been purple without some type of wet or dry suit.
