Tragic. It amazes me these guys got to be that old being that stupid. Just
lucky up to this point, I guess. I seldom wear an IPFD unless I'm single
handing, when I always do. But that's in a 25' cruiser. I would never even
consider going out in a 16' boat even in warm, protected waters without
one. In near freezing coastal water? Unthinkable.

That's right... I bought a comfortable 'paddlers' version of Mustang PFD
just so I would be more likely to use it.
On my 15' Yukon open aluminum boat, I wouldn't leave the dock without it on
and zipped up.
