Sorry, didnt see that PS part, did you add that after the fact?Spoken like someone that has never seen someone drown.
P.S. It's not because I feel I have to protect everyone from themselves while they are on my boat, It's to protect ME. I don't want to ever be put in the position of having to decide to jump in after someone and endanger my life. Even if you know it's not the right thing to jump into a dangerous situation to try and save someone from drowning, I defy anyone to look into the eyes of someone drowning and not jump into the water to try and save them even if it could mean certain death to you.
I understand what you are saying, but here is where you and I may differ.
I feel like I have done my part by explaining to someone they need to wear a pfd. I am not going to argue over it, and not going to play babysitter to an adult. At the point of a refusal to wear one, my responsibility has ended. Anything resulting from that decision is not my fault.
I have 3 kids, thats enough for me to worry about in life. THERE I have say, as I would for any other child. If my borther's 3 kids want to go swimming without a pfd, I draw the line and Ill argue with my brother or any other adult all day until they put one on or we go home.
Adults...nope. I can advise and recommend and hope, but in the end, Im a big personal responsibility guy. You choose to go in at your own risk, Ill go have a drink.
