WHAT YOU HAVE SHARE IS TRUE FOR ME AS WELL. I NEVER WAIR ONE. BUTT I MAKE MY SON CODY WAIR HIS. HE HATES THEM BUTT ALWAYS DOES WHAT I SAY. IF I WAS IN THE BOAT WITH THEM I WOULDNT HAVE HAD ONE ON EITHER, I KNOW ME AND THAT IS THE TRUTH. ITS AMAZING TO ME THE OTHER 2 SURVIVED WITH THE WATER TEMPS THEY SHOULDNT HAVE. HYPO SETS IN QUICK IN WATER THAT COLD MOST WOULD HAVE STARTED TO SHUT DOWN BEFORE REACHING SHORE AND SUCCUME TO THE COLD. IF AND IM GOING TO DIE ID RATHER DROWNED THAN DIE OF HYPO. SEE IVE HAD HYPOTHERMIA BEFORE TWICE, ONCE ON A SCOUT WINTER CAVE SLEEP OUT ANOTHER WHILE CAUGHT IN A AUG SNOW STORM DEEP IN THE HIGH UINTAS. IT IS VERY UNPLESSANT WHEN ONES LIMBS GO NUMB AND THE HART STARTS TO SLOW. ITS SOMETHING I NEVER WANT TO EXP AGAIN. SO I WOULD JUST SAY GOOD BY GO UNDER AND TAKE A BREATH OF WATER. 2 MINUITS OR SO AND ITS OVER. I KNOW MY LOVED ONES WOULD HATE IT AND HAVE SOME TUFF TIMES WITH OUT ME HERE BUT IT WOULD BE MY CHOISE AT THAT TIME. IHAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES WHILE CROSSING FROM THE NAROWS TO THE MAIN MARINA AT THE BERRY IN MY OLD 14 FT SHALLOW V AND ALWAYS LEFT THE PFD ON THE FLOOR. JUST LUCKY OR MY JOB HERE IS INCOMPLETE CAULSE IM STILL HERE.
