[Public-list] Life Jackets

[Jim Davis]

In past years the Coast Guard has tried to establish National Mandatory Wear Rules, without success.  Now the National Transportation Safety Board is trying for mandatory PFD wear.  They are holding a public forum on Aug 25, 2004 to discuss the issue and try and find a way to force the issue.  Check out the press release http://www.ntsb.gov/pressrel/2004/040524.htm.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
