Thanks alot, I agree safety is very important I recently purchased pfd suspenders at walmart. They don't get in the way and it has a manual pull not automatic. Once my wife knew I fishing in the Delta she made me get them. I really appreciate the help, on these team tournaments I want to contribute and not be a human live well. Also I have one of those bike lights that blinks intermentlly would that be a good idea? Thanks again.
