        NJ and PA both require PFDs be worn by children 12 and under if a
boat is under way, no matter what kind of boat.  I think Maryland may have
an adult rule.  I've seen rangers along the Potomac ticketing adults in
canoes and kayaks for not wearing one, and escorting them to shore as well
if they don't have one on board.
        Does WV have a similar rule?
