Where is the best place to put your pfd while on the water in your boat?

The best place to put it is on your body, fastened in place. It does not work with a hoot if you are not wearing it. Last year we investigated a double night time fatality- 2 drowned boaters. We found their PFDs. They were nice and neat- still in the plastic bags they were in when they were purchased. Not only were they not being worn, they had never been taken out of their bags.
