Hi TubeDude,
Picky, picky, picky! On the Orcas, all you would need is one. ha ha As for logistics, for us, I suspect that would be a no-brainer.
Here in LA we've got our drive-by's, be grateful all you've got is paddle-by's. You know what, telling them what they were doing was wrong and reminding them they were not wearing PFD's might be of value. If they're playing the 'We're the Big Dogs Game' you could manage a low-key answer to that with a word to those managing the facility.
I spoke with a California Coast Guard officer at the Fred Hall show yesterday and found out something to aid me in my PFD crue! If someone has a water related accident where PFD's were required (in California both fresh and saltwater) and not worn OR were not the proper class rating for the circumstances, many insurance companies can and do refuse to pay damages or cover liability. That one was new to me! But then again, this is California, which is often at the forefront of such type of legislation.
