My sentiments exactly.  I hope a 20-year old USCG sailor never has to  die
trying to save you.  Self determination has costs and  consequences.

Sure  enough.  You're free to do what you want.  Hopefully it will
never happen, but if you got into real trouble, I'd bet you'd be  right
on the radio calling for your government to help you  though.  And
you'd expect them to send boats, helicopters,  planes, whatever...to
get you out of the mess you got yourself  into.  And I doubt you'd
expect to receive a bill for the  help...
