Coast Guard Encourages Safe Boating

The U.S. Coast Guard reminds boaters to exercise safe boating practices over  the Summer and remain aware of the changing weather and sea conditions. Prior to taking to the water, boaters are encouraged to visit the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety website for complete information on safe boating. Additionally, the Coast Guard  highly recommends boaters get a free vessel-safety inspection from your  local Coast Guard Auxiliary. More information on these inspections can be  found at the Vessel  Safety Check website. A few minutes now could save a life later. Current  weather information and advisories can be found on the National  Weather Service Marine Forecasts website.
