RESPECT THE WATER. RESPECT THE COLD.
- Wear your life jacket. Fall water can be dangerously cold.
- Share your plan. Tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.
- Prepare before leaving. Check the weather, fuel and safety gear, and pack warm, dry clothing.
- Know the risks. Cold water can quickly affect breathing and movement. Stay with the boat when possible. Learn and know about hypothermia.
