Roger Kubera Power Fleet Captain Bill Arnett - Sail Fleet Captain A Boating Funny: A guy I know was towing his boat home from a fishing trip to Lake Huron when his car broke down. He didn't have his cell phone with him, but he thought maybe he might be able to raise someone on his marine radio to call for roadside assistance. He climbed into his boat, clicked on the radio and said, "Mayday, mayday." A Coast Guard officer came on and said, "State your location." "I-75, two miles south of Standish." After a very long pause, the officer asked, "How fast were you going when you reached shore?" By Mary Marineau, Henderson, Nev.

FYI If you haven t been to been to Vermilion s Quaker Steak and Lube in the old Red Clay location, they have done a nice job adding a boating theme. Inside they have an amphicar on display, a racing speedboat among other water related items. Outside, they added a bar down at dock level where they also serve food. They have expanded the amount of river view dining by taking advantage of the location and dock space below their upper deck. It is worth checking out!.
