It is totally your responsibility! If you see another boater in distress with risk to life or property you have a responsibility (a legal one) to render aid.
I didn't see them. I didn't hear them.

Hope you are joking...if not, that is worse than sad.
No even if only joking about something that serious is just as SAD:E:S

why is the law stated:
In addition to the wearable life jacket, there must be at least one (1) USCG approved Type IV throwable (ring buoy or seat cushion), on vessels of 16 feet or greater. The regulation to carry a Type IV does not apply to (1) personal watercraft; (2) non-motorized canoes and kayaks of 16 feet or greater; (3) racing shells, rowing sculls, racing canoes, and racing kayaks; (4) sailboards; and (5) vessels of the United States used by foreign competitors while practicing for or racing in competition."?
if it is a boaters responsibility to save others, why the exemptions?
