National Safe Boating Week will be held from May 21-27, 2022, reminding all boaters to brush up on boating safety skills and prepare for the boating season. This observance week is the annual kick-off of the Safe Boating Campaign, a global awareness effort that encourages boaters to make the most of their boating adventure by being responsible.

Join us in sharing these boating safety messages each day of National Safe Boating Week!

 Always maintain a proper lookout and be aware of other boaters and the environment while boating. #nationalsafeboatingweek

Be sure everyone wears a U.S. Coast Guard approved, properly fitting life jacket while boating. For life jacket fit facts visit: https://safeboatingcampaign.com/life-jackets #nationalsafeboatingweek

 Did you know the environment may stress your body & mind enough to make the risk of an accident much greater while boating? #nationalsafeboatingweek

Heading out on the water? Make sure you wear a life jacket and have (and know how to use) other required boating gear. #nationalsafeboatingweek

 Check the latest weather forecast before you leave shore. Hop on over to weather.gov for the latest updates. #nationalsafeboatingweek

 Raise your hand if you took a boating safety course and got a vessel safety check. We did! #nationalsafeboatingweek

 There are many dangers to boating under the influence. Protect your life and others – never BUI! #nationalsafeboatingweek #boatsober

Stay Safe.

Thanks for the reminder, I still have to do a boater's safety check this year.

 

Your timing is perfect! Thanks again.

kayakers (maybe boaters?) need to practice getting back into the vessel.  it is more difficult than you think.  most of us have so much gear strapped to the tracks, that an entry point is tough to achieve.  good to know this before it is essential.

 

safe water fun to everyone!!
