I remember pulling into Crissy one day earlier this year (a beautiful
sunday I think) when the wind had died.
A CG boat was going around picking up many windswimmers (and their gear)
and bringing them back very close to the beach.

In years past, the CG didn't do this without being called on to rescue a
specific person. This action looked like they (the CG) were just being
good samaritans. Conditions were ideal for power boating, and the
"rescuing" was easy. I suspect that a change of attitude or policy at
Coast Guard Station Golden Gate is in large part responsible for the 60
"rescues". Last year many those rescues would have been just so many
long swims.
