Mandatory Life Jacket Law Goes Federal

[fishbones]

We downsized from a 23 to a 19' cc this year. I'm glad we went with the 19 because we were considering some 17 and 18' boats. My son always wears a life jacket, but I'd have a hard tome complying with that law. I'm really good about wearing it on the yak, though.

I'm by no means for adding new laws or fees but some people are just plain stupid on boats.
This past sunday we were flounder fishing in the harbor in the early afternoon.
There was a small 16-18 ft boat floundering and I counted 7 people on it.
In 1 hrs time 2 different environmental boats pulled up to them and the 2nd one had them heading in.
Don't think they had 1 life jacket on the boat.
