Be Aware
August 22, 2022
As all boaters know, boating is a great sport. Every trip is an adventure. However, embedded within those experiences can be many opportunities to have physical mishaps. Recently, I have heard of a few instances where swimmers brushed up against the stainless steel prop and had to head to the hospital for stitches. Yesterday, I noticed a fellow boater almost fall from the foredeck of his powerboat after snagging a line on an exposed fitting. And, I unexpectedly kicked my anchor lying on the cockpit floor, an act which could have caused some serious pain if I had bare feet. So, as trite as it sounds – be careful out there. It’s a fun sport, and you want to enjoy it all season long.
