GIS repair recommendations
Interesting that there was no epoxy laid down under the paint like the designer recommeds. I take it you did not build your GIS warmbeer?
As for PFDs, my opinions are that they are akin to seatbelts in cars. They should be worn, no matter what. Conditions change, #### happens and there is no time to put it on while coping with a situation. Every week we read about deaths where a PFD was not worn. I can't understand the logic of not wearing them.If you buy the right one, and you wear it constantly, you won't even be aware you are wearing it.
To me it's a no brainer.
