His wife was on board with their baby in her arms. I ran to my boat went out around and threw him a line to attach to his bow. I pulled him a little bit out to sea and he figured out that he had blow his prop so I said I would bring him in. I waited for a set of big waves to go by and he yelled "where are you going" I said I wanted to wait for the waves to pass so you don't surf into my motor... Finally I got him in through the narrow channel and pulled him to shore in a safe are. He didnt' even look me in the eye when he said a half assed thanks... I risked allot by helping him and the guy was totally unappriciative...
Would i do it again... yes

Good story. The guy was obviously embarassed that he had to be rescued in front of his wife. I'm sure he didn't feel like much of the "Man" that day. Considering what could have happened out there if you didn't show up you would think he would have named his next child after you.
