The team work shown by all that were out there was great. The guys were practically to the shore when the lifeguards jumped in and would have easily made it. I agree with Andy, the news was slow and it was a good opp. for the rescuers to get some training in. One never knows when it will matter though. I definitely would not expect those guys to just sit on shore and watch those guys come in on their own. If I were them I would have felt some obligation to help out. Yes, the wind was tricky as it came up really quick that morning just like the charts show.
