All Hams on Deck Yes. Michael and his wife Carol are both Navigators in the Power Squadron, with full certificates, and both believe strongly in wearing life jackets, especially when seas are choppy or at night. The overboard incident at Port Jefferson Harbor wasn't the first time Piggy Sue had gone overboard. She may be smart and cuddly, but Piggy Sue is also a klutz on a rocking deck. She once backed out of the cockpit into the water.
Pigs can be slippery.
Piggy Sue is comfortable in her life jacket and is especially happy when the family is together on the sailboat. She'll snuggle with Heather, snooze in her little sleeping bag, and hang out in the cockpit with the rest of the crew. Piggy Sue wasn't lucky to have been saved by a life jacket, she was smart. Nobody expects to fall overboard, and a life jacket buried in the bottom of a locker isn't going to save your life. Life Jackets, They Float.
