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!!! CM I'm sure a copy of that photo and all the relevant information are on there way to the USCG, child protective services and the management of the yacht club. Pictures don't lie! Why does he have a stinking life ring when a horseshoe is far superior and will fit members of his large girth social enclave? Pictures don't lie! Toddlers + open transom sailboat + sudden storms + no life jacket = negligent homicide! Save the children! Pictures don't lie! |
