Where Has The Summer Gone?

Fall will officially arrive in just a few short days. Most of the kids are back in school and the waterways are less congested. For those of us lucky enough to live on the water, this is a welcome sign. No more drunk parents pulling their kids on tubes in the main channel. I have already covered that in an earlier blog so we'll move on to something that I feel is very important. Boating can be fun and relaxing. However, without proper education, it can be the most dangerous activity you ever try. Getting proper boating education is very important and is a great way to be involved in boating in the cooler weather months. Most states offer boater education classes throughout the year. Even the most seasoned boater can pick up new information to help become a safer boater. The cost is minimal but the value is priceless. Knowing the law and knowing what to do in an emergency can save a life! So, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, get on the Internet and find some boating classes. Your family will thank you! And all of your fellow boaters will love ya!
