🦺Your life jacket is their safety net.❤️

Every year, we hear devastating stories of children left drifting alone after an adult goes overboard.

☀️The peak summer heat might be fading, but the sun and wind are still strong out on the water.

Sun, wind, noise, and vibration can cause "boater's fatigue," which can impair your reaction time just as much as alcohol. ⚠️

🧠 Stay alert.
💧 Stay hydrated.
🦺 Put safety first.
