In light of recent events, it occurred to me that I should have one, even on Lake Ontario. I'm not even sure if the 23 would even float, so being in the (cold) water here for very long would be an awful way to go. We do have a ditch bag that floats with flares, horn, handheld, etc., but we have become too reliant on our cell phones for communications.
I would agree that it's a good idea for offshore and even coastal boaters.
