Boating Season Begins – Highway Patrol Urges Safety!

Summer is the boating season, and whether you are boating for fun or fishing, there are some things you need to remember.  Sargent Jake Angle from the Highway Patrol says Be safe and make sure you have all the required equipment on or in the boat.

Sgt Angle says if you do not know how to swim, you should keep the lifejacket on at all times, just for safety sake.

He says some may need to have a boating safety course.

Angle also reminds everyone that, just like in a car, operating a boat while intoxicated is against the law.  It puts yourself and anyone else on the water with you in danger.
