So, no more floating on an inflatable after a couple beverages of choice?  |
They are toys when utilized in non-navigable waters, i.e. close to shore, in a swim area, etc. When they move into navigable waters then they become a boat. So if junior and his friends want to paddle their inflatables, or similar devices, across the pond, lake, cove, etc., they should be equipped with the most basic safe boating requirement-a wearable PFD. BTW, if they are under 13 years of age they should be wearing those PFDs in that scenario.
