Strawberry tragedy--and LIFE JACKETS

[trout_slayer]

Couldnt have said it better myself Jim. I totally agree with you as far as this incident being an "eye-opener" for me as well. I dont know why, but it just puts a chill down my spine thinking of what happened to those people. I guess it was because, just a few weeks ago I was on Strawberry and the wind picked up and I didnt think we were going to make it back myself. In situations like that you should AT LEAST put your PFD on (I didnt!!! What was I thinking??? That could have been me or the two in the boat with me) or at very least just take the boat up on shore and wait out the wind or storm. I guarantee I will be wearing my PFD whenever the boat is in motion from now on!!!
