Good work & good post.
It's too easy to become complacent and not wear a PFD of some sort while underway. I have done this too many times myself. When I started fishing with GS 2 years ago on his boat, I began to appreciate his rule of a PFD whenever underway and decided I would do so when I get my own boat.
When I did have people out with me, I did make certain they knew where the life jackets were in case of emergency AND that they were quickly available and not locked away somewhere. But even that might not be good enough, especially if a boat back fills and sinks tail first similar to what the above event sounds like...
Greg - Like everyone else said here, you did a very good thing and likely saved the lives of several people... You are certainly one of the most upstanding people I know
