As for PFD's, if Ganzy always wears them then
he's 100% gay.

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? 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 and do not want to
be restricted, Plus I make sure there are many PFD and such that will
float and I can find.

No kids on board of course.

You can't swim if you've been knocked unconscious...

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?

Joe, do you wear a life jacket on board in good weather withing
swimming distance of land? I've sailed NY, NJ, CT, and even FL areas
and I rarely see people with PFDs on in good weather while out for a
day sail.
Jon is a scared little chicken fairy who feels his fears should be
shared by everyone. When people have posted here with pics of their
boats underway, PFDs are rarely worn in those pics.
Thomas wears his PFD full time now, but he struggled with it for a
while and kept trying to take it off.

Hey, give him a break... the boat was heeling ever so slightly.

It was "rough."
