SeaTow question
I renewed with SeaTow on 7/18. Got the card in the mail Thursday or yesterday. Have had it in past and used once for a jump with very satisfactory experience.
Got out to boat on mooring at 0600 this morning and immediately realized I had left battery switch on.... two weeks ago. Dead dead dead. Pilot error. I accept that. I call the 617 SeaTow number at 0702 and push 1 to speak to a captain. He answers and it is obvious he is in dire need of sleep. Tells me he is just driving back from all night tow and no one is available to be in Salem until 1100. I thank him and hang up.
I eventually get jumped and on a battery charger with generator for almost two hours through my good local contacts. So enough to fire bilge pump in this monsoon and start tomorrow morning.
But what should I expect? I am more than disappointed, having just spent the money. But do I call out the guy who had probably been out all night and was in no condition to get out to a non emergency?Call local number again to ask what happened? Call the national number? Is it just scheduling issue? It IS the middle of summer on a weekend....
Wish I had radioed Boat US to see what they would have been able to do for me.
What would you do?
