Is this near boathouse grill? I spend a LOT of time in Hartwell and should have bought lake property there 10 years ago. I regret it every time I go there. Between there and Anderson is my favorite spots on the lake.

Hit a floater that’s just beneath the surface and you’ll potentially be thrown into the water after bouncing off the boat.

Yep, I know a guy that broke both legs after getting thrown from a boat. If he didn’t get pulled out rapidly, he would have drowned.
Inflatable PFDs are too damned convenient to not wear while running.

Your boy is going to need a lot of support. Please wear your vest as well as the kill switch. I lost a close friend in a similar situation. Both matter. A lot. I believe in making your own choices, but it’s been a bit skewed by experience. It affects much more than just us.

I attach my kill switch to a plastic clip dog collar. Clip that around the helm. When underway I Clip it around my leg above the calf/below the knee. Makes it very convenient so nothing is on my hands. That way i can work the MFD or the radio or whatever without getting snagged on everything. Clipped tonthe helm is an easy reminder every time.
