Strawberry tragedy--and LIFE JACKETS

[left]I can't speak for Tarponjim, but as for seatbelts in boats, I think he was just making a comparison between seatbelts in cars and PFDs in boats, not literally installing seat belts in boats. Still, all of these points are valid and certainly gives food for thought. I think that I need to pony up the money for an inflatable. In saltwater its not such a problem, you see, being as fat as I am I am incredibly boyant--can barely dive--you could use me as a marker bouy--but in fresh, cold water, there is really not substitute for wearing a PFD and making the best decisions possible. This really was a tragedy that I hope will not repeat itself. Stay safe everybody![/left]
