I have been getting ads on facebook for New York's online boat safety course. Despite knowing everything i took it for the heck of it. It takes 3 hours and you don't have to pay unless you want the certificate. It's very well done and worth doing. And i found out out i don't know everything. I got two wrong out of sixty on the final but to be fair i was drunk when i took the test. On a serious note with boat safety on my mind i checked my safety gear. My flares are outdated,i need a new fire extinguisher,and worst of all my mustang inflatable pfd is 9 years old and never been serviced. So i put it on and got in the pool...nothing. I pull the ripcord...nothing. I count on this thing to save my life during the cold water season and never bothered to read the maintenance info. Lesson learned.
