But, an accident happens without warning and usually after the accident, the life jackets are not within reach— stored in cabinets, trapped under the boat or oating far away in the water.

We would like to remind boaters that it’s important to wear a life jacket at all times on our lakes. And remember...Boat Safe, Boat Smart and Boat Sober!
