Good reason to wear a lifejacket
Six people were rescued in Dublin Bay after their motorboat capsized yesterday evening.

No doubt the lifejackets helped.

We were out messing with the towing ring yesterday, I noticed even with a wetsuit on after a very short time my limbs started cramping up in the cold. Wouldn't want to have to swim to stay alive on top of everything else in an emergency.
