Boating Safety and Accident News
I cannot stress enough how important it is to be careful boating this weekend. This is traditionally the busiest boating weekend of the year, and also the deadliest. Do not drink and operate a boat. Designate an operator. Leave the booze in the cooler until you get home or safely tied up for the night. There will be multitudes of people out on the water, and at the beach. Keep a sharp lookout. Watch out fot other boaters who aren't paying attention.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July.
