I haven’t seen any mention of life vests in anything I’ve read so far about it.
Here's a report that suggests that they were not: https://wjla.com/news/local/coast-guard-...edy-family
It's so shortsighted to not wear life jackets. I swam in high school and college and was a lifeguard for a couple of summers. So, I'm very water-comfortable. But, my wife and I both wear jackets when we kayak on a 125 acre local reservoir even though the most we ever see are 4" swells from the wind. It's just too dumb not to wear them. And to not wear them on Chesapeake Bay...
