Yep, just because it isn't the law doesnt mean you shouldn't be wearing one. Its easy to fall off a boat. So many preventable deaths.
Half of me wearing a life jacket is so that if I were to die in a boating accident you don't look stupid with the article saying lifejackets were onboard the boat but not worn by the occupant.
