Coast Guard Summer Boating Tips

As summer approaches the coast guard is reminding New England boaters to be safe out on the water this summer.

Some safety tips the coast guard suggest include wearing a life jacket, never boat under the influence, tell a friend or family member wear you plan on boating, have a VHF marine radio, monitor weather broadcasts, and have a signaling device to communicate an emergency.

The coast guard also would like to remind Cape Cod Boaters that although outside temperatures are heating up water temperatures remain  dangerously cold.
