What you put on about saving people at sea I couldn't agree with you more . When I was fishing crab one time it got really bad so me and my crew member took for land . A call came on the radio from a retired fisherman , who lives close to the water , and he said he saw a little sail boat upside down and wanted to know if there were any crabers on the water and I was the only one . So off we went . It took 3 hours to get there in raging seas . We took water on board on every wave .We looked and looked and then my crew member spotted the boat . i YELLED " DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF IT JUST TELL ME WHERE TO SAIL " We got him about 4 miles off land and and got him on board my boat . When we got to the wharf there were lots of people there . He was shell schocked that's for sure . his wife was there and just started screaming at him for being stupid and told him to go the f*** home . He looked over his shoulder as to say thanks and his wife didn't even notice what it took to get him back safe . City folk they say . I'd do it again in a heart beat .

Interesting story of yore OT. Some people, especially city folk, sometimes just don't see the bigger side of life (cannot see the forest for the trees) and seem to be more self centered. Kudos to you for saving a man who made a huge judgement mistake.
