A yacht broke away from its mooring, bounced off anchored yachts. I saw the chaos, jumped in the dink, fendered it off another accident and got aboard. Couldn’t get inside, couldn’t drop the anchor, couldn’t start the donk. I found the kedge, chucked it overboard just in time before it smashed itself on the rocky shore. The anchor held and I called the boat’s sales agent to ask him what to do with the boat ( the boat had a for sale sign on it with the agent’s number). He said to take it to a marina. I got the help of a passing superyacht tender to do just that. Tied it up after two hours to a buoy and went home to nurse my sore back and wash off the sweat and salt. I told the broker the boat was where he wanted it.
So, I’m expecting a phone call to say thanks a million and here’s a bottle of malt whisky for your trouble and a kiss and cuddle or whatever. What happens? Nothing at all. Total frikkin ingratitude 2 days later. I’m not happy.
So next time, if I don’t get courtesy it’s a salvage claim. How do I do it? Can I do it for this ungrateful sod?
