FOCA Friday # 4 by Eleanor Young
/Well if boat traffic on Tasso last weekend is any indication, I'd say we're into peak cottage season!
Through our membership in FOCA, we are part of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Their website (www.csbc.ca) is chock-a-block with great information to help us all look out for one another on and in the water.
5 Key steps to safer boating:
Wear a lifejacket
Boat sober
Take a boating course
Be prepared - you and your vessel
Be cold water safe
To these 5 key steps , I’d add: Please remember to watch out for all lake users, and swimmers, please have a boat escort if you venture out beyond the shoreline
