Saturday, Apr. 14th 2012 6:14 AM
This week the U.S. Coast Guard kicks off National Safe Boating Week, just before the busy Memorial Day Weekend.
As fun as boating can be (and we all know how fun it is), it’s important to remember the basic safety rules. For example—wearing a life jacket.
Below, television actress and mom of three, Christa Miller, promotes the importance of wearing a life jacket and talks about why she and her family always “Wear It!”
Please take a moment to navigate to http://www.uscgboating.org/ and read through some of their boater safety articles.
What are some practices that you, or your family, have adopted to stay safe on the water?
