I am currently getting ready for the coming season by taking inventory of my gear. This year I would like to add a couple of important important to my inventory. The first would be two inflatable live vests. The second would be a hand held floatable VHF radio. I have done some on line research on the vests and I am totally confused as to which models would be best suited for my needs. I sail on Lake Ontario in NY state. I rarely go out in bad weather but on the Great Lakes it is easy to get caught. I plan on taking three or four extended cruises of three or four day duration in the coming year. I like the mustang vests but cannot decide which one would be best for me. I have some thoughts on auto inflation vs manual inflation but have no real experience to guide me. If any of you own a vest and would like to enlighten me I would appreciate it.
The VHS radio I was looking at is a Icom M36 and again I am fairly clueless concerning the market for these devises. This unit falls within my budgeted price range but again I would appreciate some real life feed back as to what units are being used, why you chose them, what features are deemed important, and what to stay away from.
Your help will certainly be appreciated.
