Hello, All.
    Camano Sail and Power, LLC has a wholesale account with this outstanding marine store.  See more info below.  Some of my students have expressed an interest in the self-inflating pfd that we use at CSP.
    This is the PFD that I wear  It is available in two color combos:  black and grey; black and red. I would not get the black and grey (low visibility) ( they no longer stock the pink like mine.)  The integral safety harness is designed to the  most rigorous ocean racing standard.

    Camano Sail has a wholesale account at Fisheries, where we buy most of our boating equipment and supplies.  We will be happy to purchase for you anything in the Fisheries catalog.  Our discount is quite variable and runs from around 40 or 50% down to zero and depends on the exact item we purchase.
See the on-line catalog at    http://www.fisheriessupply.com/
 
    We will sell any item in the catalog to you at our cost plus 10% and sales tax.  We can save you the shipping to Camano if you are happy waiting until we make one of our periodic shopping runs into Seattle, which we do on average every few weeks.  Otherwise it can be UPS'd here but that would chew up some of your savings.
 
    If you see something in the catalog you'd like, e-mail me the item with the Fisheries "order number", generally the 5 or 6 digit number in the first column.  We will check our price and get back to you with what we would charge.
