I don't think there has ever been a life jacket in my dinghy. Where would you leave them when you went ashore?

The only time I have one or more on the dinghy is in Sint Maarten. But I have a couple of cheap ones as "sacrificial" vests and don't bother locking them because I know nobody will bother absconding with 'em. The good inflatable Spinlock ones remain onboard.
The big grey patrol boat just left the lagoon after dark tonight and I passed the black RIB lurking in the dark at the gas station; but luckily I had a bright white all-around light on the dinghy and they didn't bother stopping me on the way to Barnacle's.
