Re: [Paddlewise] paid rescues? and Affordability

A well thought out and written commentary by Mr. Paxton.

The statement below brings to mind:  "He said.  They thought.   But,  would 
you believe?"   Hindsight is always 20/20 and who better to tell the poor 
soul (victim) that they could have done better after the fact than a giant 
bill for a rescue.  You can only get as much justice (or should it read: 
rescue) as you can afford.

Thanks
Fred
