Looks like a tiny cockpit. And, yet again, no PFDs.
Have you sailed SF Bay Rob? It's nothing like LIS.
I can understands Jon's endorsement of PFD's.
SF is more like the open ocean than any bay on earth. Wicked currents
and storms can blow in in a heartbeat, fog so thick you can not see
your hand, lots of big traffic, Rocky shores and cliffs, big
waves..ect. ect...
Something you might understand if you get a Captain licences like Jon
has. Safety of passengers is your number one concern all the time.
Do you provide your guest's with PFD's?
On;y the gay ones...
You can get some nice PFD's
these day that are comfy. I bought Terry a Sperry float coat. Myself I
usually do not wear a PFD, but Im a strong swimmer
You can't swim if you've been knocked unconscious...
and do not want to
be restricted, Plus I make sure there are many PFD and such that will
float and I can find.
And if you are singlehanding or Terry is below napping and you go over how
are you going to reach them? EEspecially is your boat is toodling along at
4-5 knots...you can swim that fast to catch up?
