jrc, who decides and who pays, is a real catch 22. When Weirs Guy has a few cold refreshing adult beverages and attempts to swim to the pier and disappears does the rescue team say, oh no that's more than 50 feet from shore and our free rescue service does not cover it so the cost will be $xxxx for us to continue or do they just bring in the helicopters, boats, side scan radar, divers etc and send a bill for $150,000 or do they just take reasonable action and chalk the cost up to all taxpayers? I don't know the answer.
