Don't you guys have anything better to do than to argue over the minutae of
booties? Running down ramps, sticking to deck pads, getting out of
footstraps. Get a life.
The next thing you know, there will be a flurry of discussion over what
brand of PFD to wear. By the way, what brand of PFD would you recommend?
