	I think not giving up your PFD is a bit mean. In six years of
serious ocean paddling I have never needed my lifejacket but wear it for the
day I do. If that is all it take take to help the victims then I would not
hesitate throwing them my jacket. The chances of needing my jacket at the
same time I donated it to save some lives would be pretty slim.  

	If I had a choice between loosing my spray skirt or my PFD then I
would give up the PFD every time
