Water you doing this weekend?

Water you doing this weekend? 

If you head to the lake or river to sail-abrate this holiday weekend, don't forget a-boat safety first! Don't drink & drive-yes, even a boat - save your mega pints for when you're at home. Wear your life jackets-anchorage everyone to wear one, even if they know how to swim.

 Educate your passengers on boat etiquette

- just like we are now. If a boat is stationary, be considerate: give it a wide berth & reduce speed 

- so you don't swamp Stationary boats are usually being used for fishing, swimming, etc. - Watch for swimmers. Remember your boat and your wake are your responsibility 

- The waves created by your wake could potentially knock a person overboard a boat oar cause them to be swept underwater it they're swimming, Respect others and the environment at all times 

- This is im-port-ant! - carry in, carry out: 

Plan for your trash and whatever you do, don't toss it overboard. Learn to ask for help when necessary. 

If you're ship out of luck - YCSO is available-call 911 in case of emergency, we have our boat patrol ready to assist. Have a great weekend and sea you there! Ok we're done
