With the boating season upon us, all boaters should take a moment to refresh their boater safety knowledge.
The Auburn Citizen has a regular column on Sunday's during the spring and summer covering all aspects of safe boating. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxillary authors these columns and we encourage you to take a look. In their upcoming series they plan on covering a few of the safety aspects that tend to create trouble. These include, among others, navigation rules, anchoring, docking, trailers and trailering and distress calls.

There are plenty of sources for Boater Safety information on-line, as well as in the user manuals that come with most marine equipment.
So take a few minutes today and review proper safety procedures in your boat's owners manual or check out some of the links we have included at the bottom of this article. As the weather gets nicer and we take to the beautiful waters of upstate NY, please remember to boat safely!
Get out and enjoy the Lake! - Lakeman
