Sailed from DSC to Oasis-Clinton St Boatyard to pick up Pearson 39 'Dorothy Gale'. We sailed out to beyond Dundalk Terminal.  

Dorothy Gale called via VHF for assistance off of Seagirt. During a POB drill to retrieve an errant round yellow float, they discovered it was a crab pot after the line wrapped around their rudder post. They cut loose from the pot but line still fouled the rudder, so we towed them back to DSC.
