what offshore pfd recommendations do you have? i have used several but never take note of brand/model. I’m looking at this mustang md3184; something with harness built in and easy enough to travel with.

    I don’t know the brand I have off the top of my head, but visually it’s similar to the mustang. I don’t think it matters that much, as long as it works. I figure if I go in the water during a passage, I’m either getting picked up relatively quickly, or fuck it, I’m done. Why prolong the suffering? I do like the harness built in.

      the harnes has always made sense to me. if I’m in weather where i need a harness, pfd should be on too. new idea though… maybe after 20 minutes the shark bait capsule releases?

        Haha. That’s a funny idea. I’ve thought a few times about what it would be like just floating there, knowing that it’s just a matter of time. Luckily it’s not something that I obsess on, but I’m sure there are a lot of people that do. Probably keeps a lot of people from getting on the water, to be honest.
