Re: the great PFD debate. My rules: when paddling alone ALWAYS wear my PFD, always !!!! No exceptions. When paddling with a group, wear my PFD 99% of the time. When paddling with a group, early Sunday morning, on a lake, where the water is smooth as glass and we are paddling within 100 feet of shore on a beautiful day, tuck PFD behind seat - very accessible. When paddling with a group in open water (sound, bay, creeks, etc.)(ie non-lake) always wear PFD, always. As Dan knows, the place I most frequently paddle (Jordan Lake in central NC) is a very large lake with, unfortunately, lots of jet skiers. Luckily, there are large parts of the lake where you can get away from them and have a nice quiet paddle. But anytime there are jet skiers around I figure I need my PFD. 'Nuf said on that subject.
