It’s National Safe Boating Week – May 22-28, 2021! This observance week is the annual kick-off of the Safe Boating Campaign, a global awareness effort that encourages boaters to make the most of their boating adventure by being responsible. It’s a great opportunity to remind all boaters to brush up on boating safety skills and prepare for the boating season.
