I saved a kayaker’s life once. Sorry to say they were too STUPID to know they were in danger from drowning and hypothermia.
It was October and we were one of very few boats still on the lake. We were the only boat to respond to the distress call from her boyfriend on shore.
At first she refused help. The kayak was pointing toward the sky. She had a life jacket but wasn’t wearing it. It was quite windy and I had to be Very careful maneuvering my power boat near her. We finally convinced her to accept our help.
The boyfriend was very appreciative, she was pissed.
Should have let her drown! /s
