running a charterboat pfd,s are below. on tourism tour boats there below decks. there not required to be worn as for acessable that's a court issue. I have seen fines for a frayed rope, life jackets everything under the sun.
the absoulute best was 2 female opp operating the 24ft limestone. they hit the gas dock so hard they cracked/crushed the gunnel.. . . its always entertaining watching the opp on the water. recent years my buddys have been stopped 3 times in the same day.. sure glad they moved on out of this region.
