I admire your passion and I am sorry to hear about such a tragedy. I have been boating since I was a child, I own a 20' "regular boat", three kick boats, a float tube and anything else that can get me out on the water I'm willing to try. I am not immune to such an incident such as you described but I I am familiar with the laws and there is no federal requirement to wear a pfd while kayaking. No argument, it's a good idea. I had one with me at all times and I wore it while in the open water. Before you lecture on the laws of kayaking you should be aware of the rules yourself. I am not looking for an argument, I just do not appreciate the lecture. The glass is half full, perhaps you are looking at it half empty.
