A
friend, driving home from a fishing trip in northern Michigan with
his boat in tow, had engine trouble a few miles inland from Lake
Huron. He didn't have a CB radio in his car. So, he decided to use
his marine radio to get help. Climbing into his boat, he broadcast
his call letters and asked for assistance.
A Coast
Guard officer responded, "Please give your location."
"I'm
on Interstate-75, two miles south of Standish."
The
officer paused, "Could you repeat that?"
"I-75,
two miles south of Standish."
After
a longer pause, an incredulous voice asked, "How fast were
you going when you hit shore?"
