It's going to be a cracker of a day on the water 🌞

Before you leave home, make sure to do a pre-departure check 📝

✅ Test the battery
✅ Check fuel levels
✅ Inspect lifejackets and safety gear
✅ Make sure everything is ready to go

A 5 minute check could save you a long (and dry) drive back home from the boat ramp 🚤

It's been heating up this week, meaning boating season is just around the corner 🌞 📆

When was the last time you did a maintenance check on your vessel and safety gear, including lifejackets?

P.S If your kids have had their lifejacket a while... might be time to upsize. Make sure they still fit.

🛥 Whether it's sailing through familiar waters or navigating the choppy seas, you're always flexing your judgement muscles!

▶️ Judgement means making wise decisions about safety factors like speed, vessel traffic, your boat's capabilities, and weather conditions—all interacting on the water.

⚓️ If in doubt, don't go out!

🌻 🔧 Don't know about you, but we'd rather spring clean the boat than the house!

Lots of boats have been sitting idle over winter, so give them a proper once over and check all your safety gear is on board before you set out on the water.
