A groundhog’s forecast about seasonal change is fun. Here’s a prediction that can help ensure your times in, on, or near the water are always fun. If you wear a properly-fitted life jacket, it can help prepare you for the unexpected and save your life. #PleaseWearIt

At night, boats are required to carry visual distress signals. Along with meeting requirements, consider carrying extra visual and sound signaling devices like signal mirrors, white LED lights, glow sticks, and distress flags. Carry signaling devices on your person, just in case!
