    Nathan - which policy do you guys have, 'must wear PFD' or 'must not wear PFD' ? Now that PFD's are required to be worn, haven't had a rescue call on the river. Rivers around here really aren't meant for swimming; lots of obstacles, lots of power, a lot of opportunities for people to get themselves in trouble.
