If they were ignorant enough to run to nooch without experience, they probably were stupid enough not to have life jackets on. Does anybody know if they were wearing pfd's? If I saw somebody who looked green, for instance not knowing how to back a boat down to the river, I'd ask them if they had pfd's. If they didn't I promptly give them mine. Glad everybody is o.k., but next time somebody won't be as lucky
