Today’s boating safety tip is to always remember to operate your vessel at a safe speed.

A safe speed for your boat will depend on a variety of factors, like your ability to see ahead; current, wind, and water conditions; how quickly your boat can change direction and how many vessels are near you.

Caution is specially required when visibility is poor, such as entering or exiting a fog bank. A boat’s wake can damage other vessels, docks and the shoreline. It can also be a risk for swimmers, divers and people on small boats that might capsize.

Also, be aware of how your boat’s wake might affect others when choosing your speed. You will be responsible for any damages or harm you cause. Always remember that responsible speed management is an important aspect of hazard avoidance, and key for responsibly boating.

Spring boating is always a lot of fun, but keep in mind the spring run-off brings a lot of extra debris into the lake, creating additional hazards. Be mindful and watch for floating logs, deadheads, and other debris while boating. Additionally, other boats and weather can pose as hazards too! Being prepared and boating mindfully are the best set of defenses against on-water hazards. Anytime you are out on the water, safety should be your number one priority.

The best way to be safe on the water is to prepare thoroughly and today’s boating safety tip is all about planning ahead. Before you head out on water, make sure you and your boat are up to your planned on-water activities. That means you are knowledgeable about your upcoming trip, your boat is properly equipped with the required and good-to-have safety equipment, the weather is suitable for the voyage, you have sufficient fuel and you have filed a trip plan. Planning ahead can help you mitigate risks during your trip, ensuring that you get some safe quality time on your trip!
