SAFETY
The popularity of boating and other water sports
has undergone an immense growth over the past
few years. Because of this, safety is an important
issue for everyone who shares in the use of our
waterways. Be smart when boating and using your
equipment.
In emergency situations, it may be necessary to
resort to measures which are not commonly
practiced. Always assess the dangers of being in
harm's way versus the protection of equipment.
Keep a sound mind during an emergency and
always think safety.
• Know the conditions of your boat and the
environment.
• Have a float plan and inform others when you
will return.
• Secure or store loose items before getting
underway.
• Avoid sudden maneuvers at high speed and
reduce speed in waves.
Avoid fire, explosion, injury or property
damage from improperly handled
pyrotechnic signaling devices. Follow
the manufacturer's directions.
