Not particularly. To be quite honest, you annoy me more than he does. Not that it's something I lose any sleep over!

Remember the trip back from Cowes a couple of years ago. Seahawk II stuffed round Selsy Bill and my auto Lifejacket inflated and a curtain of water come down on us

And that is a good demonstration of just how hard you have to try to set one off prematurely!

Having a life jacket inflate when it's not needed is a bit of a nuisance, but otherwise no big deal. It's not life threatening. The opposite is a rather different proposition . . .
