There have been a couple of local news reports lately about drownings following
boating accidents. Before the stories even got to it, I knew that the victims
were not wearing life preservers, as I spent a few summers as a camp lifeguard
and swimming & boating instructor, and I know a little about the topic. A proper
personal floatation device will keep a victim afloat and face up even if they
are knocked unconscious, which can happen all too easily when a small boat
capsizes. The bottom line here is that I am a better swimmer than most,
and have forgotten more boating safety rules than most people ever learn, and I
never enter a small boat or canoe without a Type I or Type II life preserver. I
highly recommend this policy to anyone planning any recreational boating.
