cons,


NOONE who can't SWIM belongs in a boat, adults or, especially that little
baby....

Test it out, "Worst Case Scenario".....put him in whatever PFD you've got
and throw him over the side of the dock. Think he'll "make it"? How will
you feel when he drowns? You can't save him. Hell, adults are lucky just
saving THEMSELVES! The waves at the dock aren't even 5' swells.

I agree with the other poster.....Leave him with grandparents until he can
swim two lengths of the pool. Babies have no business in a boat which may
sink.....neither do non-swimmer adults.

A man drown, just yesterday, when he fell out of a small fishing boat in
the Stono River near Charleston. Two reasons he drowned....no
PFD...couldn't swim. As narrow as the Stono River is all the way to
Kiawah, if he could swim he didn't need a PFD. He could swim TO SHORE! He
was 53 years old, alone and should have known better. His boat was fine
floating with the tide. He simply fell out of it while fishing.

Please leave the baby with grandma.....for me?
