Finally ordered a buoyancy aid

[mollykins]

We won a buoyancy aid from ebay, and between me and any of my friends we should be able to fit into two of the three BAs we know have . . .

*now

[Maydup]

Yippeeeee

[boxtops]

Thank goodness for that....

[mollykins]

yes yes I know it should be have been a now. :P

It's blue so at least the guys'll wear it aswell, one of the other two I had my eye on was grey a fluorescent pink!

[ttfn]

molls - you fit the b.a INTO your friends? I think you may have gone into the wrong section of eBay

[mollykins]

I didn't say that . . .

We'll have three bouyancy aids, I think I could wear any of them but some of my friends would need the biggets one and others the smallest.

Plus one lucky friend is the same shoe size as me so can have one of my pairs of wet shoes and is slightly smaller so can wear the the smaller of my two rash vests.

[Barmaid]

Forgive me, but isn't the point that you stay IN the boat?!!!!!

[ummmm]

Smashing..

[boxtops]

What's a rash vest, sounds itchy?

[Mamyalynne]

To prevent chafing boxy, surely you own one?

[mollykins]

Barmaid I do except when my auntie's in the boat even though she has been sailing more times than i've had hot dinners!

Boxtops its a lycra tshirt that stops your buoyancy aid from chaffing and giving you a rash.

[Mamyalynne]

Best not to have a large hot meal before going in the water.

[Barmaid]

So what does your auntie do that makes you leave the boat? Or shouldn't I ask?!

[dotty.]

Molly did you stamp your foot before your last 2 replies?

[boxtops]

Ah - the liberty bodice again.

[tamborine]

is a BA a degree or a life jacket ?

[mollykins]

Barmaid TBH I don't think it was her fault but she is the only person to capsize my boat.

No dotty !?!?!?!

Tambo, neither, there are many differences between life jackets and buoyancy aids.

[mollykins]

Buoyancy aids assist you to float but life jackets keep you on your back so it's hard to swim but if you're unconcscious then your face won't be in the water.

Plus life jackets tend to have more gadgety things such as whistles and lights.

[boxtops]

You'll be all right then - good.

[Barmaid]

Don't worry too much about the buoyancy aid - just don't let your aunt in the boat again!!!!
