EMERGENCY NUMBERS


The default number for any real emergency is 911
Use the local fishermen and boaters for assistance if you can. They will often help and will likely cost a lot less or not at all. Salvage of abandoned boats is a strange area of the law so beware.

RESCUE NUMBERS NEEDED

There is no doubt that someone will have to drop out of the Texas200 at some point. In all likelyhood they will be a long way from their vehicle. For this reason we are soliciting phone numbers of any interested parties who will not be joining us this year. We need folks we can call to help by picking up a sailor and taking him to his car so he can retrieve his boat. If you can help please send me a name, phone number and times that you will be available to help. You can either send that info to <chuck@duckworksmagazine> or post to this forum section. The plan is to print a list of these numbers on waterproof paper for each boat.
