Re: Coast Guard Suspended Search
Wearing your PFD will greatly increase your chances of survival in a MOB situation. I have heard all the arguments too, "oh I swim great". You can't swim at all if you hit your head and are knocked out. When dunked in cold water you can't swim at first because your diaphragm goes into an uncontrollable spasm that will cause you to inhale water. It's tough out there and sadly accidents do happen.[/QUOTE]
Very true! Well said Flukemeister1, seems that a lot is missing from the story.
