Safe Boating Awareness Week
Saturday May 16 - Friday May 22
Join us in recognizing Safe Boating Awareness Week, a national initiative dedicated to promoting safe and responsible boating practices as we head into the summer season. We encourage all members and those in our community to take a moment to review key safety guidelines before heading out on the water.
Safe Boating Awareness Week highlights several important reminders that help protect everyone on our waterways:
Key Boating Safety Tips
- Wear Your Lifejacket: Over 80% of boating‑related drowning victims were not wearing a lifejacket—making this the single most important safety action you can take.
- Boat Sober: Alcohol and cannabis impair judgment and reaction time. Always designate a sober operator.
- Take a Safety Course: Whether you’re new to boating or experienced, continuing education strengthens your skills and decision-making.
- Prepare for the Unexpected: Check the weather, ensure your equipment is in good condition, and be aware of cold‑water shock risks.
- File a Float Plan: Let someone on shore know where you’re going and when you plan to return.
- Use an Engine Cut‑Off Switch: A simple yet vital device to keep you safe should you fall overboard.

Let’s work together to keep our waters safe, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone this season.
