If a person went out on a small boat on the water and takes passengers with him, in this case, everyone must necessarily wear life jackets, even if you ride on catamarans (they are also small boats). If the weather conditions deteriorate, it is better to return to the shore, so as not to put your life and the lives of passengers in danger.
