Unless you are found quickly, all a PFD will do is locate your body sooner Cold water kills quick. My 17' Key West goes in the barn as soon as the water is too cold to swim in. I fell through ice in a pond and I will NEVER forget it. My prayers go out to those families........Gary

He was found about a mile south of Easport. Didn't go very far in a month of being in the water.
Cordrey had been sailing with his girlfriend Taylor Rogers, 25, of Salisbury and friend Daniel DeNike, 46, of Laurel, when their 18-foot Precision sailboat capsized. All three were wearing life jackets when they went overboard, according to the NRP.
Rogers survived after being treated for hypothermia, but DeNike died in the hospital. Cordrey’s dog, Roscoe, was also lost in the accident.
The Capital reported that Cordrey may have given away his life jacket to Rogers. and his family said that was the sort of thing he would do.
