GL: Automatic/Manual Inflatable Life Vest

[Phil Bolin]

In response to:  "We are getting ready for the up coming boating season, and
am in need of some advise from the enlightened masses.  We want to purchase
inflatable life vest"

We just purchased the Stearns 1339 Manual/Automatic Inflatable Life Jacket.
It fits great and gives good freedom of movement.  It is comfortable.  The
1339 can be activated by immersion in water, by pulling lanyard or by oral
inflation. 

We purchased from discountmarinesupplies.com for $139.00/each.  Best price I
found.  You can see these units on their web site.  My wife and I have one
now and will use underway on our downeast loop. 

No tie to either the lifevest supplier or discount marine. 


Sincerely,
