Boater Safety Checklist

Sunglasses? Check! Fire Extinguisher? Check! Life Jackets? Check! Towels? Check!

Are you going boating this summer? Make sure to have a properly-fitted life jacket for every individual on the boat. Inspect your boat before putting it in the water. Check the weather before heading to the lake. Have a first aid kit/supplies in the boat. Keep in mind that carbon monoxide poisoning can look a lot like seasickness and intoxication. If you think you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, move to fresh air and call 911! #safeboating #lake
