I'm thinking on the level of a small yacht owner, like almost everyone

With the recent "Salvaging or Scavenging" on the British shore I
assumed we were discussing salvage in general, and specifically the
beached booty. Only jon brought up small craft towing, guess because he
has that endorsement on his ticket. When he told me he had a towing
endorsement I thought he had a freight and towing
endorsement...bwahahahahahahahaaa.

Sure Joe. I think you just got lazy in your thinking. JLR was talking about
theft, not salvage.

I think anyone who pulls salvage on another mariner on his personal
yacht in peril is a scumball, unless thats his profession or the boat
was abandoned and it's not needed anyway.

That's a gross over-generalization. Don't you think someone should be
compensated for taking time and risk, and expending effort?That is exactly why there is such a thing as "Salvage". It was
designed to encourage people to take risks to help others in distress.
I thought all sailors knew that...


Exactly..

Now what I'd ask people like Jon and Jeff is ..When do you decide to be
a salvor, or a fellow mariner helping another?

I have very clear drawn lines...Do you?

Joe
