Back in 1990 I took a friend out on Lake Erie in mid March right after ice was gone.
We were after some early walleyes and after a few hours the wind picked up quick and we were about 5 miles from our launch site so we headed back in.
The waves were soon 3 to 4 ' and we had to head strait into the wind to get back so it was a rough ride. My friend spotted something in the water about 1/4 mile out from our course and told me to look, between the pounding we were taking and keeping the boat strait I took a quick glance and didnt see anything. My friend kept looking at the object while I was driving and told me , I think it might be a overturned boat, lets go see. I have to admit I didnt want get off course and go look but I did.
When we got there thats just what it was , just the bow of a 16' boat sticking up a couple of feet above the waves and the rest was underwater. We spotted 3 guys in the water with no expression on there face and not saying anything...
Great story... glad it worked out. They were fortunate to have you there, and you were fortunate to be able to help. I'm in favor of happy endings...
