My vest-style PFD has a tow line at the small of my back made to break under too great a load, a throw bag (actually a flat satchel that sits between my shoulders), and of course a knife for when it all goes wrong with the lines. With my belt inflatable PFD, I attach the bag to the boat. Throw bags and tow lines have come in so very hand on so very many occasions, that I prefer to bring them along despite their being a slight embuggerance when padding ultra light in a sprint boat.

If it's not attached to my pfd I don't have it... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
