Mustang jacket / PDF & harnesses

[drm901]

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 ;-)

[Bill]

Gee Commanderpete, I didn't know you had a self furling jib!

[commanderpete]

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?

[Janice Collins]

Thanks for the thrill....:rolleyes:

[Mike Goodwin]

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 !

[commanderpete]

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?

[MarkCreeker]

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.

[SailorLiz]

WOW!  That is a scarey nightmare!  I hope you have nicer dreams tonight.  Maybe you should go for a swim and try to relax.

[commanderpete]

Hot Damn!

That pool would go real good with my summer house. It has a great view.
