We have nothing comparable to the RNLI here but our Coast Guard would almost for sure not charge these blokes. They fly in conditions worse than this for training. This rescue is not "dumb enough"

USCG is prohibited by law from charging for rescue services (but not the other stuff they do, like documentation and inspection).
