Everyone’s heard the expression, “not all heroes wear capes.” Well, apparently a lifejacket will suffice. Ten-year-old Jay Springall from Devon, England, overheard a conversation about a kayaker in distress and immediately dropped what he was doing and motored out in his boat to save her.
He found the woman in the water, hanging on her kayak and drifting out to sea. He tried to get on board using a ladder but she was too weak to climb, so he tied her kayak to his boat and towed her to shore, where a lifeboat arrived to complete the rescue.
