Proposed mandatory PFD law
 

The NTSB in their bureaucratic wisdom is proposing a rule to require ALL
people on recreational boats to WEAR PFD's ALL the time. Here is a link to
the site, and the e-mail address to send your comments to. Since boating has
continually gotten safer, I certainly see no need for this. I do support the
PFD laws for kids and small boats like canoes, kayaks, and PWCs. If you
don't want to end up wearing a life jacket all the time, send it your
comments!

Proposed mandatory PFD law
 

It's only a start. They'll be after all swimmers to wear a PFD next. Then
it will be anyone driving a car over a bridge over a body of water or
through a tunnel under a body of water. Anyone sun bathing on a dock or
beach. An on it goes. Once they get their foot in the door. Give them an
inch and tye'll take a mile. Soution? Fire the buggers. They only do
it to keep their government jobs. Once they make some peopel wear PFD's
they are in danger of losing their jobs so they have to find more innocent
vitcims in order to have something to do.

Unless it is the brother-in-law effect to sell more PFDs with a kickback.
Stranger things have happened.

Keith I think you might be getting a bit too excited over nothing. I
coudn't determine from the link you provided that they were proposing
this for ALL people on recreational boats. They haven't gotten as far
as determining what crafts they'd like to regulate, if they can ever
agree on any is another matter. I also noted that you felt it was a
good idea for OTHER crafts to have mandatory PFD's...just not your
prefered one. Relax a little and enjoy your freedom to free of a "PFD
must be worn regulation" while you boat. Your voice will be heard but
you don't need the scare tactics : - )
