Safe Boating Week 2015

We are in the middle of National Safe Boating Week and this is a reminder we all need!

To make the point even more, take a few minutes and watch this video:

I fish, I know how much us anglers hate to wear a bulky, uncomfortable, hot and sweaty life jacket.  I know, I get it.  I also know there are lots of life jacket options available now and you can put one of the inflatables on at the beginning of a day on the water, leave it on all day, and forget that you even have it on.  Let me remind you that statistics show that by far most boating fatalities were NOT wearing life jackets.

Learn more about our boater safety classes, a requirement for many Nebraskans before they can legally operate a motorboat or jet ski, Nebraska Boater Safety.

I have often said this, will say it again. . . . I know all about you “tough guys” and how you think you do not need to wear a life jacket.  OK, whatever.  Put it on for your family, for your wife and kids, for those who love you.

Do it!
