Doug,
There have been cases of tow boat operators making a salvage claim on a
boat when the distressed boater thought he was only getting a tow. It
might be something you want to establish before accepting the tow.

BB,
It was just those rules I was curious about. It's not impossible if you
are the one being towed to find yourself in a salvage situation. Yes the
rules are different, they can be not what you would logically expect based
on common land rules. But it's still telling on our society!

Paul, what exactly does this mean - "find yourself in a salvage
situation"???

Paul:
A salvage claim - what's the meaning? As if the disabled boat was found
abandoned?
