In the recent newsletter, they talked about putting on a PDF.
I've found that the Mustang jacket / PDF (it has rigid foam panels inside the jacket) is fantastic! When the weather gets bad, you put on a jacket, and you also automatically put on a PDF.
I considered a harness & the inflatable PDF, but after using this for a season, I think it is the best combination. Unless if you are always dealing with 90 degree days. You won't want this jacket on if the weather is over 65 degrees.
Where I sail, a PDF is of limited use however. If you are singlehanded, then you will die of cold before someone will find you. The harness is a necessary evil - even with the PDF.
Just got me a Mustang Bomber Floatation Jacket. I found it on sale. Not really bulky at all. Hopefully, I'll use it when it gets colder.
I was going to get one for my lady friend here, but she seems pretty bouyant.
Can I join your crew ;-)
Gee Commanderpete, I didn't know you had a self furling jib!
Bill, you've got an eye for nice equiptment.
French, here's one for you.
~Sigh~ maybe I need a bigger boat
Just so our female members don't feel slighted, here is a picture of some buff, hardbodied sailors.
Drool away, Ladies

Nice father and son photo. Is that you?
Thanks for the thrill....:rolleyes:
So you take all those old Adobe PDF 's and stuff them in a jacket and they keep you afloat ?
I'll stick with PFD's , but Commander Pete may be on to something , if his wife don't catch him !
Nah, not married yet. Part of the problem is that I like to hum that old song "Brandy." You know the one, "Brandy, you're a fine girl..." Seems to scare them off.
Those guys in the picture above may not have 6-pack abs, but they got 12-pack bellies.
Ahoy Commanderpete,
Here is someone that would like to crew on your boat. Maybe fill in when the other crew is unavailable? :D
Commanderpete - "Nobody is just 'naturally' skinny." Charles Atlas highly recommends the 12-pack diet if you want to put some weight on.
That photo SailorLiz posted gave me a terrible nightmare last night.
The guy was wearing a leapord-skin Speedo and commenting on my physique in a locker room.
(shiver)
I've got to lay off that spicey food.
WOW! That is a scarey nightmare! I hope you have nicer dreams tonight. Maybe you should go for a swim and try to relax. ;)
Hot Damn!
That pool would go real good with my summer house. It has a great view.

Your summer house is a nice one. It qualifies for a real nice deer blind here in MI.
We have gotten way off topic on this thread, but it has been fun.:D
While I was out sailing this weekend by the Mackinac Bridge I snapped this picture. I never realized how big the fish can get in the Great Lakes.
I had heard that was an UPer swimming pool. Didn't I see a panel on that truck that was colored bondo?
