Sorry John, you're in violation of Federal law, and should anticipate extraordinary rendition.  If your PFD were non-inflatable, 
you would just have to have it onboard with you, but since it is an inflatable, as far as recreational paddling goes (as different 
from racing), you must wear the inflatable, not just have it along in the canoe or kayak:  Canada Shipping Act, R.S., 1985, c. 
S-9, Small Vessel Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1487, pt. II, s.16.07 (2) (a).

Im torn about this.  Is it ethical for me to turn you in and then take money from you to handle your legal defence?

While we're on the topic of laws and ethics and inflatables, is it true that Dr. Peregrine Inverbon always wears his inflatable 
fully inflated, and that it resembles a certain inflatable Patty Pleasure?

Im not certain if I want to know the answer to that one, for I expect that it would lead to reporting him to the authorities as 
well.
