I've always known it. Boaters, in almost every case, will rush to the aid of anyone needing help. Whether it's a simple tow back to the dock when an engine dies, or rushing to a radio call for help. They drop whatever it was they were doing. Just riding, fishing. It doesn't matter. When the call for assistance goes out, all else becomes secondary.
A video I just watched points this out, perhaps, better than anything else I've ever seen. It happened on 9-11. That "other" day that will live in infamy, forever.
Thousands of New Yorkers were stranded. Trapped, if you will, along the Manhanttan waterfront. No way to reach safety. The first to respond were the ferry operators. Then came private boaters.
Well, take a look at the video. I think you'll understand.
