Is a PFD on your person considered" ...ready for immediate use"?
for this one... you need one additional fd ... on the boat... NOT in a hull or requiring 5 minutes of pulling to get out of a pocket. of course the coasties could also write you a citation if they saftey check your boat.
The CE thing is handled by stuffing one of those cheap orange pfd's into a hull and using what you currently use.
