A Float Note

Before attempting to take a stranded vessel in tow, especially one that has been storm-tossed onto hard bottom, it's wise to conduct a thorough survey, make temporary repairs as required, and take every precaution to ensure a safe passage. This means making certain onboard bilge and/or emergency pumps can stay ahead of flooding, and securing against fire and catastrophic loss of stability.
