seriously...how in the world did they not get these things back? 300.00 each? Great. The fishermen are idiots who cost us money, the people who rescue them, although doing an admirable job, don't even think to get the jackets back? The wasting of tax dollars is never ending. Should the rescuers pay for not getting the lifejackets back? If my staff lost thousands in equipment there would be heck to pay...not, oh well, we hope they give them back. Sorry for the rant but the amount of waste on all sides is mind boggling.
