Search underway for three missing people after boat sinks near Mukilteo
EnglishSetter:
Mustang Survival HITS work vests for me. I encourage, but don't require crew to don PFD's unless something gets sketchy (or I know they can't swim/tread).
When a hitchhiker shows up wearing his PFD, I "know" he's serious. When I hitchhike, I show up with mine on.
RIP to those lost. Typically loss of life is readily avoidable or at least body recovery.
I also have a $4k liferaft I do everything in my power to never need to use. But know if I needed it, I'd pay $1MM.
Safety spiel gets spoken every single trip no matter how many times you've been out with me.
If you ever watch channels such as "Boat Zone" at places like Haulover Inlet, you'll rarely see a PFD donned despite sketch conditions.

This is the area where the boat went down. Pretty tame waters. And the 26' boat was 200 feet off the shore? It really doesn't add up.

Even if you're a great swimmer, cold shock can kill anyone. Involuntary gasping when your head is underwater isn't a good recipe for survival.

I watch those channels from time to time & am always surprised at the number of people traveling through crazy waters w/o life jackets on their kids..
