Paddle smart from the start. Always wear your life jacket. Be aware of wind conditions, tides, and localized currents. All boaters and paddlers are highly encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons at www.wow.uscgaux/i_want_a_usc/index.php to receive a FREE vessel check. This is a convenient, no consequence way to ensure your vessel is outfitted with all required safety equipment. Additionally, please label your paddlecraft with your contact information (IF FOUND Sticker) in the event it is found adrift on the water.
