Stay Safe

A-Jay

I was in the boat 3 times during this designated week. PFD was worn every minute I was on the water (and is worn every minute of every trip, of every week of the year).  All required safety gear appropriate for my vessel (<16 ft) on board as well.

Howzabout everyone else ? Have you checked recently to make sure you have all the required gear and that it is still serviceable ? Current on all the boating regulations for your area?

It's nice to have a week designated for recognition of this important topic ... but it's really an every week kinda thing, right.
