| Always keep your vessel assist up to date!
I just got the invoice from Boat US of what they paid to the company that towed us in. We were 10 miles from my slip in mission bay and it cost $770.00!
Just a heads up even though the season is winding down make sure you keep your vessel assist up to date. It may save you big $$$
(of course making sure you have enough fuel in the first place will do that as well  )

But $770.00 well worth the $150 a year I pay.

Vessel assist is like wearing a rubber while having sex. You better have it or it will cost you.
Oh well James............I'm sure your crew helped out with the bill since you take them fishing all the time. 
Curtis.........

Whew, guess I should be glad one of the engines didin't go down huh Curtis?
Vessel Assist was pokey getting there but stilll quite a bit faster than paddling. Money well spent every year, glad you had it James.
We fished for sharks while we waited, the swell was a factor, it was still a fun day.

I thought towing companies on land charged absorbant fees like $150 "hookup fees" but $77 a mile! Im glad I have Boat US AND AAA | |

When our engine exploded and we had a VA tow us in from 8 miles out from the point, damn near a grand, but every bit worth the buck fiddy a year for the insurance and the captain babied our boat onto the trailer like nothing and all it cost me was a thank you | |

First time was with my first boat 2 miles outside of newport, second time was last month.
