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

He was not wearing a life jacket.

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

Yes. Particularly when you are the responsible one. Time to overhaul my SOSpenders ; )

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.

Second this..

This year I will spend a fortune on safety gear. Make good decisions

&&&&& A DAY LIKE TODAY ESPECIALLY ><

I wear my inflatable life jacket all the time like I said if I am alone or at night..

You guys all still wear it with others onboard and their not wearing one ?

They work best while wearing
That being said, my policy is similar to yours

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.

I’ve been thinking about it,,,
