How can I be breaking the law? I'm not the owner of a 35s5, remember...
or a kia! ? I'm not in the pic either.
Thomas does like to wear his Spongebob lifejacket now.


It doesn't appear that way.... no child of that age should be allowed
access to the cockpit without a life jacket on. Of course the parents are
certainly setting a proper example by not wearing theirs either. Never mind
there isn't a lifejacket in view!!!

It amazes me that you dare lament the consumption of a beer while
underway... but allow numerous toddlers access to a cockpit with no life
jackets and no fishnet guard along the lifelines!

Compound that with the very basic required by law... life saving gear.. no
line attached to the ring buoy, no lifesling, no MOB pole. You shouldn't
even be allowed to be on the water. Tell us how you would undertake an MOB
recovery without the gear to do it? It takes no time at all for one of such
a young age to scramble over the edge in an effort to regain a toy or hat
knocked off the vessel by a breeze.

You Sir... should be reported!!!
