That trip was 6 years ago. Sure doesn't seem that long ago. I'd love to get together like that just one more time.

I'm a firm believer in life jackets. I'm like most when it comes to the standard vest types. I'll take it off as soon as the big motor is turned off. The inflatables are so light and comfortable I basically forget I am wearing them. I once walked into a store and the clerk asked, "Just how hard is it raining out there?" I unknowingly still had my inflatable vest on.
