Crossing the Astoria Bar is a whole nother matter from a lake cruise. Name one instance where life jackets are typically worn on a tour boat. I can see people clamouring about it, but right now it just isn't done.
"Name one instance where life jackets are typically worn on a tour boat."
People who don't wear life jackets, when underway, as just asking for trouble.
It's not a requirement BUT
"Luck favors the prepared."
