You know to wear your seatbelt!
You know NOT to text while driving!
You know NOT to drive after you've been drinking alcohol!
So why do you go out on the water, in a boat, without a life preserver on?
Don't give me that excuse that you'll be close to the shore, or you can swim like fish, or you'll put it on while you're moving, but you're gonna take it off when we get to your fishing place. Unless you're in the water for the specific purpose of swimming and other people are not involved, you need to wear a life preserver of some kind, and leave it on!
When I was in high school a life guard, who was a friend, drown, trying to rescue some people in Lake Michigan. Maybe it wouldn't have happened if he had a life jacket on. It can happen to the best of you!
I don't want to dwell on the variety of situations you can get in to while in the water. Suffice it to say it may be a bit cumbersome, but that life jacket may save your life, and/or those around you!
