BEFORE YOU hit the
water for another season of
boating, remember that
safety should be your first
concern.

June 7 to 13 is national safe
boating week, but with our prox-
imity to water, coupled with re-
cent summer-like weather, the
time to think about safe boating is
the first time — and every time —
you take the boat out.

Make sure all of your safety
equipment is in good working
order. If you are not sure about
the minimum safety equipment
you need, consult the Canadian
Coast Guard’s safe boating guide.

Carrying the proper safety
equipment on your boat is one
thing, knowing how to use it is
another, Make sure you and your
crew know what to de before an
emergency strikes.

Having the proper safety
equipment on board your boat
could save your life this summer,
so check your equipment before
leaving the shore.

The thought of getting behind
the wheel of your car while im-
paired is unthinkable, so why
would you drink and boat? The
consequences can be just as tragic
and the penalties as severe.

When you're boating, there's so
much going on. The sun, the
wind, and all the other boaters on
the water draw your atiention. So

why ruin your day by drinking
and boating?

Towing in broken-down vessels
needlessly expends a large portion

have to wear a life jacket because
they are good swimmers. There

are situations where this kind of
thinking could cost you your life.
Remember, it won’t work if you
don’t wear it.

Boating is a wonderful pas-
time, and the best way to get the
most enjoyment out of your day
on the water is to know what you
are doing.

There is a boating course for’
every type of boater, so take one
and enjoy boating more.

Courses will also give the fun-
damentals of safe navigation and
can go a long way towards im-
proving safety and peace of mind.

Before you head out to sea, let
someone know where you are go-
ing, who is going, when you wiil
be back and give a description of
your vessel.

That way, if you get into trou-
ble, rescue authorities will know
phere to look and what to look
‘or.

Call the Canadian Coast
Guard’s toll-free marine safety
hotline (1-800-267-6687) for more
information on boating safety and
boating courses.
