Life Jacket

Boating fans get pleasure from the feel of sun and spray. Which means it's actually tempting to go boating without donning a life jacket, particularly on fine sunny days. But modern life jackets are readily available in a extensive assortment of shapes, colors, and sizes.

A great many are thin and flexible. Many are built right into fishing vests or hunter coats. Whilst others are inflatable and are as compact as a scarf or fanny pack right up until they strike the water, when they instantly fill with air.

So there is absolutely no reason not to put on a life jacket when boating.
