Couldn't agree more. I just think that it's also important to give
parents instructions as to how a PFD should work and to actually test
it.

There was a drowning in CT a few years ago which was the exact result
of a parent thinking that all it took was a child's PFD to keep the
kid safe around the family pool. The PFD worked - only it kept the
child's face in the water.

I don't mean to denigrate the program either - I think it's a good
one.

I keep a couple of kids size jackets in the locker. As PFD wearing is
mandatory for the under (I think 16) crowd in this state. Since I am still
waiting on grandkids and the god children live in VA I rarely have kids
aboard.

You're a 'Godfather' to some unsuspecting children?
Lord help us!

I am a hell of a lot better example than you seem to be from you postings!
When was the last time you charitably helped out?

They are not assholes like you seem to be. And my children still like me,
unlike some here.
