We picked up a couple of kayakers one time. They were basically in a sound about to be carried out into the Atlantic by an outgoing tide. They had tried waving down several power boaters, none of whom had stopped to help. We were on our sailboat, but we scooped ‘em up. They were hypothermic and lost and had no idea that they were basically in the ocean when we grabbed them. The ocean don’t play.
