Re: [Paddlewise] PFD Required??

I, for one, would refuse to paddle with someone who did not have a PFD.  I
would even feel very uncomfortable if they weren't wearing it.  I don't care
how talented a swimmer a person claims to be; a knock on the head or rough
weather and a confused situation can change all that in a hurry and an
unprotected swimmer can put everyone else at risk.
