<font color='#000000'>On a warm dry day is it bad form to wear my flotation suit on a charter boat &nbsp;trip or will this seem a slur on the skippers boat and ability and get funny looks &nbsp;and comments from fellow anglers ? Accidents do happen &#33; Should I be wimp or macho man ?</font>

<font color='#000000'>You may get funny looks and comments. Who cares? Do what feels right for you. You&#39;ll be laughing when the boat hits an uncharted reef. Wimp or macho man? Simple - wimps live longer, get to fish more and therefore become better anglers (and are usually warmer).
I rest my case.

Yours pathetically,

<font color='#000000'>Bad form especially on a warm day, although could help weight loss&#33; Although if you far out then always wise to be prepared.

Our skipper on the Lady Helen - South Wales for example wears pair of shorts and deck shoes on warm day, good tan to go with it&#33;</font>
