With National Safe Boating Week right around the corner, now is a great time to check the condition of your life vests, and to brush up on their boating skills by taking a boating safety course. You might suggest that they schedule a free Vessel Safety Check (VSC) with either the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary or the United States Power Squadrons and remember to use an engine cutoff device when they’re at the helm. The best boating experience is a safe boating experience.
