Default Rhetoric, maybe

Now I owe Samiam two thank-you acknowledgements.

BTW, I found that I own one of those kapok-filled Type II vests.

Its cover appears to be a much better quality of material than the foam vests—bulkier, but more comfortable. Its capacity may be greater than 15 pounds. When the water gets warmer, I'll get a fish scale and do an underwater comparison of the two different Type IIs for floatation.

Maybe...maybe not: in that reply, I saw empty rhetoric.

It's a crowd known more for testosterone than sense. Even on Winnipesaukee's very rough waters yesterday, there wasn't a PFD to be seen among any of the "fast-crowd" boaters.
