So, another question. Say that the paddlers neglected to get the name of the captain before they disembarked. Obviously they cannot send a check to "Vigilant", West Port, Washington. How do they figure out whom to give the money to (owner or Captain, not always the same person) and where to send it? This is especially pertinent when kayakers are from out of the area and ship is not by home port. Or do they have a few cases of beer air dropped to the crew in their current location?
