[Paddlewise] How would you deal with the following situation

 >Rather judgemental, wouldn't you say?

Judgmental?...me? I'm just surprised that people who have the skills, the 
equipment the experience and who are at home in the water would not do more 
then just toss a paddle float to a drowning person. In the scenario Ralph 
presented the victims were close to shore and it was likely help would be 
called to the scene very soon. Getting out of the boat and getting wet for 
what would probably be just a few minutes seems to me a small price to pay 
for possibly saving 2 lives. Now if they were beer drinking jet skiers I'd 
have to think about it a little.

My guess is when faced with this situation in real life most would do more 
then they say here.
