On Sunday, a Ministry boat pulled up beside us and were just asking question, what we were fishing for etc. Did not ask for licences.
But I noticed he was wearing a friggin float suit I was sweating in a tank and shorts, so I asked if he was hot and he said ya but he had not brought his life jacket on board so had to wear the float suit. Wonder how long before he passed out from heat stroke
As for it being mandatory for the general public, I think that is just not right!!!
