Re: [Paddlewise] How would you deal with the following situation

1>  Two fellows in a small motorized dinghy were going out to a moored
vessel

2> Their dinghy  flipped for some reason (the water is relatively shallow
there and boat
wakes stack up viciously) and they were both in the water suddenly.

3>  I don't know whether the  small motorized dinghy sank or drifted away
but they did not seem to be  able to hang on to it for support.

perhaps 1:

If the fellows are Down stream of the moored vessel, go to it and somehow
use that boat or floatation stuff on it to help them.

If the fellows are Up stream of the vessel, try to get them to drift toward
the vessel.
=========

perhaps 2:
Everyone in NY has flares? there is lots of boat traffic? shoot your flares.
