St. John boat owner needs immediate help -

[Anthony]

We just received this in an email and I do think it is a legitimate plea - I was asked to post it here - hopefully someone can help:

"...my good friend on St. Thomas desperately needs help. His boat which is also his home is located off St. John. The motor has failed thus the boat must be towed to a refuge place. He is offering $1,000 to anyone who will help him move it as soon as possible. If anyone can help they should call him, James Latham at the following cell phone number: 340-690-6189. He is desperate to move it as it is also his only home and he is afraid it will be destroyed. Could you please post this and if anyone can help him please give him a call."

They can call Alan at Sea Tow and he will move him. Not sure of the price.

has he tried one of the seatow/towboat operators (assuming they operate down there) ?

[Anthony]

I think he has yes - at least that is what I heard from the friend who forwarded his request.
