You are more brave than myself. I will not get on the water without an inflatable life vest on. But then again I am deathly afraid of water. You would think someone who used to sail catamaras, solo sail them on the ocean, and race sailboats would not be but I am.
But for those who are thinking of getting a tube here is a reason to always have a life vest on. Especially for those of us fishing cold water fisheries.

You are right on the safety issue. I have a sample CO2 inflatable ring right under the entrance of the waders.
The ring inflates in an instant, creates nuetral bouyancy, seals moisture out of the waders and has a class 3 pfd rating.
I worked in the LA County FD for several years doing water rescues. Safety is #1 on my list.
The tube also has 4 separate air chambers as well as the foam seat. That makes for some extra PFD and PDQ.[cool]

I didn't intend to be a copy cat. That was the only color they had at the Show. I would have preferred a nice Camo or something similar.
Flygoddess: Puting it together was alot easier than trying to get the seat into my FishCat4. ha ha. This already has the seat cushion installed for ya.
I could just picture little ole you in one of these things. You appear to be small (smaller than me) and that tube would be rather large on you.
That would actually make the tube look like a "Venus Flygoddess Trap". [laugh][laugh][laugh]

I managed to stay just out of the Thresher Zone. They are all through that channel right now in Long Beach. I was actually just down the way from the LB convention center where they had the Fred Hall show up this way.
Dryrod: I am tempted to take my Kayak to the Cat. That would be quicker than attempting in a toon. I still have plans for a regular toon though. I can put a center consule on it and drive it around like a boat.

[#000050]lol.. was just an outside observation of how much more regal our Goddess looks on the toon where she cannot spread the wings.. but I must say.. the h3?? in the second pic looks to be a lot more stable and comfortable.... [/#000050]
