I often paddle without wearing a lifejacket although I have one with me because it is a legal requirement. I do this because it is more comfortable (particularly in warm weather). I do it in circumstances that if I tipped over and could not get into my boat my life would not be in much danger. For example, I frequently paddle up and down a shoreline near my house never more than 20' from shore. I take that added risk of not hearing a lifejacket because the added risk is very small. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
