On the early morning in April TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale Dispatcher, John Lepore received a telephone call from a boater who had communications with a vessel needing assistance in the Bahamas. The vessel was grounded on the reef on the north side of Gun Cay, Bahamas and was taking on water requesting assistance. Salvage Master, Larry Acheson mobilized a salvage team and TowBoatU.S. #8 and the Richard L. Becker were underway within hours of the initial call. The vessel sustained substantial damage to the hull and keel. The salvage divers rigged the casualty with lift bags and patched the hull in numerous places. The vessel was dewatered and towed back to the United States for repair.
Your guys did a great job on our charter at Port Canaveral. We had rough weather, major schedule changes, and other challenges, but never heard a single compliant. Adrian, Brendan, Tom, Ben, and Zach all were right on the spot when we needed the crane or captain or another boat movement. And the food... that was the best run of good food I think I've ever has in my life! Every single meal was both healthy and delicious.
