Enjoy Boating in the Springtime
Spring is here! Like many boaters, we’re ready to get on the water with the first sign of warmer weather. It’s important to go through a checklist before setting out on your first boating trip of the year – from inspection, tune-up, and cleaning of your boat and gear. This will help keep you and everyone aboard safe during your adventures. And, remember, the water is cold! It’s important to be prepared before setting out on your springtime boating adventure. This toolkit from the National Safe Boating Council provides responsible boating tips, talking points, social media posts, template press release, template letter-to-the-editor, images, and more.
Important Information
