Report Review
There aren't enough stars for Bruce at Kennedy Point. We were at anchor, with a dying battery bank and little sun for the solar panels, so we decided to fire up the engine and let the alternator charge us up. The starter chose that moment to fail. Even though the marina was very full, Bruce went out of his way to find us a spot that we could be towed into. We wound up sideways to the slip, and Bruce and some awesome boat owners ran to help. The tow captain made some unfortunate decisions including unhooking from our boat (!) but in the end wound up doing what Bruce said needed to be done, and we finally made it into the slip with no damage or injuries. It was clear that he truly cared about us and our boat and the other boats. He also let us stay longer than planned to allow time for the new starter to arrive and someone to install it, and so we could time our departure (our draft is deep for the channel getting in so every inch matters) for high tide and calm winds and chop. Bruce really saved our bacon and we are so grateful.
