I agree with the bot but srsly tho, pretty cool stuff. Surprised the difference a pfd made for those people. Wild, the idea of drowning because you're too cold to swim even when you're not hypothermic.

Yes, very interesting to see how those that thought they could swim well did, too. I used the same arguement for a long time. I feel naked without one now though. I eventually had a hobie pfd which i hated, but wore anyways. Now i have an NRS Chinook and love it.

Obviously, our water is warm enough this time of year that it's safe for swimming in...people are crossing the cove and back on a daily basis wearing nothing but their weasel squeezers; but I could see the cold having an effect for midwinter fishing when you;re out in deeper water and the sst is into the 50s. thats a long swim.
I mostly wear my pfd because I'm afraid of being hit by a kook from arizona on a rented jetski. |
