G'Day Scott,

This question of just jumping in a boat without a PFD or sometimes even a
spray skirt has been exercising our wits in Australia for quite some time and
their has been considerable controversy in Australia over some of the
techniques being employed to secure these items and when and how they should
be put on. I refer you to the following images and correspondence in the
expectation that these rather dramatic pictures may change your opinions on
the matter. http://www.nswseakayaker.asn.au/photos/monthly2009/index.htm

All the best, PeterO
