...TIPS FOR SAFE BOATING WEEK...

THE FOLLOWING IS A SAFE BOATING MESSAGE FROM THE SHALLOTTE RIVER SAIL AND POWER SQUADRON

As another boating season gets underway, boaters need to take heed of the weather before heading out. Know your weather signs for any oncoming changes and be prepared to return to port quickly. Keep tuned to NOAA weather radio for updated weather reports and Marine Warnings.

Make sure you and your crew are wearing the appropriate life jackets before you are in trouble.

Prior to your first outing have a Vessel Safety Check by a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary or U. S. Power Squadron and take a safe boating course from either organization.

Know the "rules of the road" and stay safe.
