I don't think he was correct here. An inner tube should not be considered a vessel. Neither is a pool float or inflatable trampoline etc. I don't think the distance from shore or depth should have anything to do with it.
So he would have been ok with a kayaker with no PFD as long as they were 15' from shore??
