precautions and being knowledgeable can mean
the difference between life and death. H. Dan

lifejacket. According to the United States Coast
Guard, more than 80 percent of drowning
victims could have been saved had they been
wearing lifejackets.

local weather to ensure that conditions out on
the water aren’t hazardous. If there are heavy
winds in the forecast or dark clouds on the
horizon, you may want to reschedule your
