I was guilty of not wearing a PFD in a boat until the inflatables came out now I wear it all the time. I can swim just not sure how long or how far at my age.
An accident can come at anytime a friend and his wife were ejected hitting a log at high speed neither were were wearing jackets. Lucky another boat saw what happened and rescued them they were a long way from shore in cold water the boat was 1/2 mile away beached with the engine going badly damaged.
