I wear mine because the boat puts both dogs, my wife, and my son right to sleep.
The MOB report would be like "We saw him in Annapolis this morning. Don't know 
where he went and where are we now anyway"

Sorry to hear of yet another boating fatality.
We had a couple more here on Lake Erie and Lake Huron this weekend.
None of the bodies recovered so far this year were wearing PFDs.

They are worn on my boat.
I have noticed that the passengers and crew almost invariably follow the lead 
of whatever the skipper does in this respect.
It really is up to us to set an example.

Glad all is OK.
Isaac's remnants hit about 30 seconds after I dropped  the mooring line in 
Annapolis to head home. We got 30+ knots and it pissed down rain. Apparently we 
have a fatality too :( There was a MOB and from the radio chatter no one had 
found him by the end of the day. He was not wearing a PFD. Come on people, the 
water was warm and a lot of boats were looking. The guy could have been put 
back on the boat no worse for wear if anyone could find him!
The wind remained highly variable all day and essentially devised a way to 
remain dead ahead no matter where I went.
