-- Got this from ACA HQ a few days ago... Darn! Just as I was getting used to pfd. But now I won't be sending all those Adobe PFDs to nonpaddlers... Joe P. USCG says "Lifejackets" It has been clarified by the USCG that the use of the term lifejackets is back and should be used when discussing the essential piece of equipment all paddlers should have and should wear. The only time the term / acronym PFD is being used is when discussing the types of lifejackets and/or regulation issues. It will be a challenge for many of use to change the terminology that we use, but to keep with the winds of change we thought you should know that the USCG will be using "lifejackets" for general terms and PFD for regulatory reference. >--------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
