Yea bubble wrap!
Anyone invited to my boat and a fishing trip is shown how to run the boat. Mainly because I like to fish instead of running the boat all the time!
For Big Guy, sorry you have that attitude however I have lost friends and others that I did not know out on the Straits. Changes a guy's way of thinking concerning personal protection gear.
Yes I did fall out of a boat once. No, I did not have a PFD on. At the dock, water was about 4 ft. deep. By the time I walked up the ramp hypothermia had set in and I could not grasp anything with my hands and I was shaking all over. Lucky I had a change of clothes in the truck and towels. I could not unlock the truck door, a friend had to pull the keys out of my pocket, unlock the door and help me with the clothing change.
Falling out of a boat happens so fast that you do not have time to think, much less grab a floatation device. 38 degree water is killer.
