Josco,
Glad to hear about your swimming ability- don't want to lose anybody, particularly
not after just having met them. I agree w/ Dave- I have one of the inflatables-
but PFD, not full-vest versions. Can easily drape a bag with flyboxes, etc. on
a neck strap over it.Around $70. at Cabela's. Pretty comfortable too, especially
when in the kayak when a real PFD can feel pretty constricting.
As an additional fringe benefit, buying it made also my feel wife much happier
about solo nighttime wading- now she just thinks I'm crazy, not crazy AND self-
destructive.
