Is Your Safety Kit Ready for Spring
Now is the time to start making lists! One important list to make is the review of your safety gear:
Are your flares up to date? Have the correct types and number? If you've never shot off a flare and think it would be a good skill to master, see the "Flare Up" event in the boating courses link... HERE Have you seen the new battery powered electronic flares that replace the old car style flares?
Have you inspected your life jackets recently ? Are they readily available, in good shape, appropriately sized to the crew and Coast Guard approved?
Do you have wooden plugs for your through hulls?
Is your radio working, DSC programmed with your unique MMSI # so you can be easily rescued? Is your GPS Connected?
Is your first aid kit good to go?
Fire extinguisher(s) still in the green?
If your boat is over 16 feet you MUST have a throwable cushion or ring. Do you? Is it in good shape? Is it a bright color so it can be seen?
Just asking....
