Already dripping wet, Emily, Karla, Marcus, and Jason climb into the boat and start paddling.

As long as "already dripping wet" is intended to modify the people, I don't see anything wrong with it.

We get tons of homework questions. Is this one of them? No? Is it from a book you are reading? Are you having a discussion at the local bar? Are you debating this with your mother-in-law?

I need more explanation if you want me to hand you the answer.

And it's "Are there any good people out there?"
