Looks like more and more SOT's are finally showing up in the news along with
associated drowning/hypothermia factors - seems even the news agencies are
starting to differentiate between types of vessels and sub-vessels.

Too bad the sea and lakes don't differentiate - boaters need to be
prepared...
