Huh?

****

.. if the boat capsized, a life perserver is the last thing you want on.

a life perserver will bring you up into the capsized boat while you are trying to swim down and get out.. IE: you will float and be trapped instead of swimming free. A life preserver is a death sentance when you are trapped inside a capsized boat. IMHO.. Thats why all the bodies were recovered so quickly, they all floated to the surface after they were dead and the boat righted itself as it sunk to the bottom. this is horrible. I just looked up the table rock water temp, it was 79.. it was 55 degrees when I was there in May 2016

A life vest is necessary if there is a risk of falling overboard. You don’t want to be wearing one if there are impediments in your way trying to egress (such as any enclosed space). You need full mobility.
