A while back, my family was in Baltimore on vacation.

At one point, we were on a boat in the Baltimore harbor, when we came up on a couple of huge yachts. One of them shouted out to us, “Dude, is your boat sinking?”

Sure enough, we were taking on water.

This began a six hour process of Coast Guard, mayday calls, and the police. When the police got there, they immediately took charge of the situation, if i’m being honest, almost to the point where I thought they were kind of being jerks about it all.
