... National safe boating week continues through may 25...
This is the third in a daily series of safety considerations for
boaters this Summer.
Before you and your family get out on the waters this year, grab a
life jacket and wear it!
Nearly 85 percent of those who drown while boating were not wearing
a life jacket.
Wearing a life jacket is one of the most effective and simple
life-saving strategies for safe recreational boating. Boaters are
required to have a United States Coast Guard approved life jacket on
board for every passenger on their vessel.
