A boater, caught in a sudden storm and reasonably fearing that her boat would capsize, drove the boat up to a pier, exited the boat, and tied the boat to the pier. The pier was clearly marked with "NO TRESPASSING" signs. The owner of the pier ran up to the boater and told her that the boat could not remain tied to the pier. The boater offered to pay the owner for the use of the pier. Regardless, over the boater’s protest, the owner untied the boat and pushed it away from the pier. The boat was lost at sea.
Is the boater likely to prevail in an action against the owner to recover the value of the boat?
(A) No, because the owner told the boater that she could not tie the boat to the pier.
(B) No, because there was a possibility that the boat would not be damaged by the storm.
(C) Yes, because the boater offered to pay the owner for the use of the pier.
(D) Yes, because the boater was privileged to enter the owner’s property to save her boat.
