Its funny you say that because when we were out I saw a small boat come out and a rib and thought I wouldnt want to be out in a small boat today

Was my thought exactly,

Safe with the right gear and as said common sense. How many small boat owners wear a PFD.

Agree totaly which is why ALL water craft users should carry the minimum safety equipment and know how to use it .Also as Pete pointed out in the case of kayakers should wear a PFD and be able to self rescue/assist in rescue in the very rare event of a capsize in deep water.Most capsizes will happen when landing in the surf zone[shallow water] and training can sort that out. **** does happen no matter what precautions we take whatever type of water craft we use and it would be good to know that we would be supportive of oneanother with a positive frame of mind, embracing diversity.............Dave.
