	I popped over to the web site for a quick looksee.  Work keeps
getting in the way so I didn't/won't have much more time to look today.
I tried to find the price on the life raft and other dimensions such as
compacted size, weight, carrying load, durability, etc. but didn't.  I
saved the url so maybe when I have more time....

	The raft certainly seems worth looking into further, to me.  As
for the PFD, could you envision yourself being thrashed around in really
heavy seas wearing it or does it seem more appropiate for calmer waters?
