As said before, our statements were pure speculation and were made prior to the release of the second article announcing they found the victims Whaler. I think that there's a possibility that someone pissed in Joseys wheaties this morning and he needs to take it out on someone. If that's the case, he needs to go over to another site where post bashing in encouraged. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

Perhaps the Somali Pirates have expanded their attack waters 10,000 miles to the east and up the Chesapeake. Sheesh!

You still don't get it, this is not a contest. 42 posts and almost half of them have been of a negative nature. This has been a peaceful website prior to your arrival and will be again when you leave. Edited by HarleyFXDL on 12/08/09 - 12:18 PM Kevin 1988 11' Super Sport, 1987 Johnson 15hp.

Member Posts: 77 Comments: 1 Joined: 05/28/08	Harley, you need to brush up on your research. Point to one of my posts outside of this thread (aside from one lamenting about Binkies antics) that was not topical and on point? Your right, this is not a contest, so please let is go. I regret entering this debate with you. Edited by Josey Whaler on 12/08/09 - 2:09 PM

I'm sure I'll get used to it and eventually will feel uncomfortable without one. The way it should be imo Aren't PFD's required by the Coast Guard or by the state in all boats? Seems like just saying "PFD" is kind of ambiguous since there are several classifications. I'm thinking you guys are talking about Type I, which will roll an unconscious victim face up? Those are the bulky ones that everyone hates to wear so they spend most trips stowed under the console or in the anchor locker or the cooler. (I'm guilty of this for sure.) Or maybe Type V, which is the survival suit style that doesn't qualify as a floatation device unless you're wearing it? Either way, a shame for those folks to fall out and die. A damned shame.

New York’s cold weather PFD rule will remain in effect through May 1. Violators face fines ranging from $25 to $100.
