Here is some footage of the water taxi made to look like a fish boat in a storm for an insurace commercial. The complete process

Here is Erik climbing aboard the precariously placed Lisa Lea. We were dispatched by C-Tow to get her off the rocks of East Howe Sound last week. It took the Howard Point and The SC Water Taxi most of the day but we got her off unharmed. Go to the Gallery to see more pics.
