Always! have a floatation devise with you. I am sure that is the law everywhere.
Check your regs, but where I live you don't have to wear one but, have one on board. I choose a vest and I strap it to the side of my boat with easy reach (It is too uncomfortable to wear it specially in the summer).
I reccomend wearing it on choppy days and floating rivers is a must.
Your gear is replaceable but, you are not!
Also, make sure that there is someone else on the water. I know we all like the remote places but, if you are going out in the water, play it safe.
