These rescues will never end. Amazingly we seem to be able to accomodate them all. 
In Response To: These guys need to listen to Don Street ()
The boats are always out there - always have been, and always will be. The last hellacious gale off our coasts had the CG running safety flights warning mariners of the extreme conditions. The idea sounded crazy to me, but there are boats out there all the time.
In the scheme of crazy stuff people do today, going off shore in that boat sounds about middle of the road.
Hero or zero, should we go for it?
