Consider a list of boating essentials…
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
When thinking about the next boating season, it may be wise to compose a list of essential equipment that you may want on board this year. That list doesn’t have to be long or involved, and will vary depending on what type of boat you have (i.e. fishing boat, yacht, speed boat, sail boat, etc). I’ll give you a few ideas you may consider…
Your list may include such items as life jackets, proper flotation device, ladder, VHF Radio, Paddles, GPS, proper ropes, navigation lights, maintenance equipment, marine charts, compasses, and last but not least, a “ditch bag” with flares and drinking water. As you plan, always plan for the safety of those you have on board and have fun!!
