Wallace and Cristy Heck, of Baton Rouge, own the boat 'Heck Yea!', which was on a deep-sea fishing trip when Capt. Bo Keough spotted six people floating in the water near a capsized boat.

I'm assuming that's the same family that owns the concrete business, Heck Yea! is what is on all the side of all their trucks.

a report of a boat in distress five miles south of Alabama Point in the Gulf of Mexico
Visibility must've been superb that day. I can see the hotels on the beach.

Aren't they crazy rich?
I know they had a son a couple years younger than me but I don't know him.

they did a good thing, cheers to them.
However, I'm pretty sure the law dictates you render aid to others in distress (at sea). At least thats what I was told by my BIL who is in the USCG.

That's great what they did, but "Good Samaritan" is a strange term to use for this.

Nice guy,is a friend of a friend. He would always hit me up for Rodeo tickets and rooms in Vegas almost every December.

ha! that's awesome. I couldn't see that from my beach chair. Looks like everyone made it out OK.

Clearly the guy being towed into the boat. I must say, I've never understood not being able to swim and being in a boat.

Yeah lucky they were in position to help out. They did what was obligated of them to do. Just glad everything worked out.

Yeah, I think they own the Louisiana concrete company, Heck. All the concrete trucks have "Heck yea!" written on the barrels.

Call me cynical but this is hardly a Samaritan tale.
This is what we call boat 1 of 100 who would all stop and render aid.

Yeah, they have a nice house out in Costa Rica.
I dated their daughter for a little while back in college.

that may be the worst analogy ever.

Most certainly a good thing. Whoever put the Good samaritans" in the title is stupid.

Unwritten rule of the water, you always help someone, because that might be you one day....
