My Dad drowned on Wabigoon lake on 19 Aug 64 off a point on Christie Island. It was a Sunday afternoon about the o'clock. That's way I'm such a sticker on wearing a PFD
You can hit a floater while underway and get
thrown overboard and hit your head, or some
pinhead on a PWC can broadside you at speed
before you can react. If you're semi-conscious
from some boating mishap and are wrapped
with floaty stuff, you'll praise God almighty
for the foresight of wearing a PFD if you recover.
Only took me one bad storm out in the G.O.M.
for me to buy the best PFD I could find at
the time
