[quote=smfinley]Larry,
I dropped my wife in Lake Michigan a couple years ago in the same weather conditions as last weekend. She was on the wire when we came down off a wave and the shock snapped the trapeze wire about 3 feet above her hands (have since replaced all standing rigging and trap lines). So she went for a swim. I had to circle back and pick her up, with only me left on the boat. Was able to bring the boat to a near stop in irons with her between the hulls so she could climb back on. She was in a wetsuit, spraytop and lifejacket so once she calmed down she was ok being in the water. Man over board visibility is the reason my spray tops are bright yellow or bright red, with red lifejackets.
Last weekend I saw two teenage girls on a Hobie wave with PFD's strapped around the mast instead of on them. Some poeple just don't understand. Maybe overly comfortable with knowing the rescrue boat is in the area.[/quote]
