Before
boating always remember: |
| | Acquire
Marine Insurance! |
| | Distribute
weight evenly; don't pile all the gear in front, back, or to one side. |
| | Check
the tide chart; running with the tide can save you up to 20% on fuel! |
| | Have
a good tool kit on board. |
| | Check
expiration dates on the marine flairs and safety kit. |
|
| Always
wear a life jacket. |
| | First
aid kit, a must! (Though not required on small boats by the USCG) |
| | Always
check the forecast. |
| | Extra
clothing for the unexpected swim!! |
