I am sure many of you are boating this weekend. Enjoy the warm weather! Please, make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment on board. Fire extinguishers sometimes leak down over time. Check them! Life jackets become brittle/old and ineffective. If you need new ones go get some. Is your registration current and on board? Is your kill switch operable? (And not wearing it is like driving around in your car without a seat belt). Is the general condition of your boat safe? (Steering, cables, special equipment, etc.) If not, have it repaired. If your engine is too loud, put your mufflers on, if you don’t have any get some. Does your lights work?—Check them! Have you done your general service/maintenance? (Nobody hates a tow in more that the one having to do the towing). Make this a great and safe summer… Happy and safe boating to all!
