I use the lanyard, took some time getting used to wearing it but I use it. The one and only time I got stopped for an "inspection", the marine patrol was surprised that I was using it and actually made comment on how they wished more people would use them. The gentleman stated that "most people either take them off or use them to hang "stuff" from." I run to the Keys alone quite often, at times at a rather high rate of speed [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img], and if something were to happen, better safe then sorry in my book.
