Captain Geof Jones and his father Stephen Jones had no idea they would be providing assistance to a disabled boater when they set out to watch the Morgan’s journey to New London.Upon returning to Mystic from New London Captain Jones heard a call from Stan Wells’  vessel, the Blue Chip off Avery Point in Groton.  Geof responded and reached the 25-foot vessel just as did the USCG and the Mystic Fireboat. The Anne then towed Blue Chip to Noank where Stan and Nancy Wells keep their vessel.  Another job well-done by Captain Geof and the Anne.
