One of the best ways to beat the intense heat of summer is to get in a boat and head out onto the water. Boating is a wonderful way to spend time with friends and relax. Boating can also be dangerous. Here are some tips from Cincinnati to help stay safe this summer:
•Half of all personal watercraft accidents involve operators with less than 20 hours of experience.
•Be sure your drain plugs are installed. Many boaters have launched the craft from a trailer with the drains open.
•Tow skiers in open areas away from congested areas, narrow or winding channels or near docks, buoys or floats.
