National Safe Boating Week | May 18 - 24, 2019
Boating is an incredible past time but like many of our favorite activities safety is of the utmost importance. During National Safe Boating Week, we take a moment to review some of the most important boating safety tips and the critical importance of always wearing a life jacket on the water. Share this information with family and friends who join you on the boat. You can never be too careful - fun boating is safe boating!
