Tow Bee Boating Safety Tip: Review First Mate Checklist Before Leaving the Dock!

Have all the First Mates aboard perform these important safety checks before your next boating outing:

 

 Check that everyone has a properly fitted life jacket

Does everyone knows where the fire extinguishers and emergency flares are located?

Look at the fuel gauge and make sure the tank is full.

Find out where the first aid kit is kept on the boat

Double check the navigation lights and horn.

Help the captain perform a radio check with the VHF radio.

Does the weather forecast look okay?

Make sure you have drinking water and plenty of sunblock on board.
