[Paddlewise] Winter's conundrum

A person is paddling his kayak and not wearing a PFD. A person is 
swimming beside him and not wearing a PFD. The one is 
considered unsafe the other not. Is it the kayak that is unsafe or 
the not wearing of the PFD?

Cheers

I am not interested in the warm water debate! It is worth noting that 
the dissenters always jump back to the warm water environment. In 
the cold water environment, safe? The boater with or without the pfd 
doesn't matter. The swimmer will soon be missing! Where could 
John be?

Cheers,
Chuck Sutherland
