Keep this in mind if a jet skier ever hails you for assistance.

TFJ

"If you come across a fellow kayaker in distress or immediate peril, (about 
to be swept onto a reef) and if they ask for a tow or assistance - you may 
be well within your rights to claim salvage.  I know of no such case.  But 
kayaks are vessels and would seem me to be subject to the same salvage laws 
that govern other vessels.

Now I'm not an advocate for litigation, but perhaps if some one was to 
claim salvage rights against some of these floating Darwin experiments, 
some good could come of it."
