Harry,
You never know, the distressed boater COULD be a lurking terrorist
waiting to hijack your boat. It's a hell of a world we live in.

Not necessarily. HE could sue you for tying a bad knot.

Gee, are we devolving to the point where no one is willing to help out
someone in distress? Next time I see some boater on the bay needing
help, should I consider whether he'll sue me before I go to his aid?
