That must have been the Great Island mentioned. It was a report from a source that follows Mass / RI rescue services.

I only wear my pdf if alone or at night, if I am with someone I dont wear it.. events like these make me re evaluate what I do

Wayne, you're nuts! Wear the #^&#^&#^&#^&ing thing. When I had my boat I always wore my suspender vest. WTF, inflates automatically when you hit the water and weights nothing.

You might swim like aquaman and the water might be summer warmth, but it’s smart to have a vest on and a kill switch connected, one might just save your life.
