							<![CDATA[Don't Become A Boat Anchor !!!It's not a PDF...that I know!  My son is a computer wizard and he told me a PDF will NOT keep me afloat in the water, but...a PFD WILL!  And...that's why I wear my &quot;Personal Floation Device&quot; when I'm fishing or just boating on Minnesota's waterways.There is a reason the Minnesota DNR requires PFD's for everyone in a boat...to save lives!  DNR conservation officers and county sheriffs deputies have been taking note of boaters who violate the law by not carrying the proper number and type of personal flotation devices (PFDs or life preservers) on board their boats.]]>
