Skin-on-Frame: Flotation bags... Wine cask bags!

I blew up an empty wine cask "sack". I have left it out in the open for 2 weeks now with temperatures from 28 C to 13 C (Australia) It is just kicking about in the back yard... rain too. It does not seem to have deflated at all. (Subjective comment)

Has anyone used these as flotation bags? A piece of string around the "tap" to pull it back if it does lose some volume? Cheap if you drink the stuff; expensive if you just empty it out!!!!!

Great fun collecting them! :)
