Being able to swim and not being afraid of water counts for much, IMO.


Yep you got it. I've been to lessons many years, cannot swim unless I have fins on.

I don't overly care for water really. I'm totally respectful of it though and most laugh at me when I park the airboat and walk back to where we will be shooting ducks, ankle to shin deep water in the dark and take my PFD off and stash it before shooting light...

And the PFD has a whistle, SPOT, orange vest, flares, and flashing beacon attached to or inside pockets....

What can I say? And I'm talking myself into water rescue training for the fire department.....

Dumb or not?
