With Americans working longer hours and dealing with stress, unplugging to relax and recharge is more important than ever. According to Project Time Off’s 2018 study, The State of American Vacation, 52 percent of Americans are not using their full vacation time.

“Vacation time doesn’t mean having to travel far. You can enjoy all the benefits close to home – and more frequently – just by being on a boat,” said Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. “Boating is a convenient way to escape from the stress on land, soak

Starting to plan a summer getaway? Skip the plane ride or long road trip - go boating to enjoy the fun and relaxation of vacation at your convenience. Whether you prefer an actionpacked weekend of watersports with the family, a relaxing after-work cruise with your friends or a serene morning of fishing by yourself, getting out on the water is more accessible than you may think.

In fact, more than 142 million Americans go boating each year, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association.

Fish for free June 1 and 2 Take advantage of Wisconsin’s Free Fishing Weekend, June 1 and 2, to introduce kids to fishing.

All the waters of the state are open; however, all usual regulations are in force.

Wisconsin residents and visitors can fish anywhere for free in Wisconsin. No license is needed – this includes inland trout and Great Lakes trout and salmon fishing.

No fishing gear? No problem. The Wisconsin of Natural Resources will have free fishing equipment for loan at more than 50 sites, DNR offices and partner organizations.

For more information, visit dnr. wi.gov.

Fishing provides a great way for parents to bond with their children in the great outdoors.

The value of first impressions has been welldocumented, and parents who want their kids to inherit a love of fishing can take the following factors into consideration so their youngsters’ first fishing trips are successful.

Local programs

Fishing need not be an expensive hobby, but the costs can add up. Parents who are not sure if their kids will embrace fishing should look into local programs. Many towns, especially those with reputations for fishing, host free family fishing events. These events give parents an opportunity to see if their kids enjoy fishing before they start buying them gear.

Starting simple

Any fisherman would love to snag a trophy fish such as a largemouth bass on his or her first trip. And while that’s possible, it’s unlikely, especially for youngsters. Such fish tend to be difficult to catch, even for seasoned fishermen.

When taking kids fishing for the first time, fish for something that’s somewhat simple to catch and capable of being caught throughout the day.

If you aren’t familiar with your local rivers

or lakes, visit a local outdoors store and ask for advice about which local bodies of water are home to fish that kids might be able to snag.

Though it’s not imperative that kids catch a fish on their first trip, doing so might make them more enthusiastic about their next trip.

Having fun

Don’t make the day all about catching fish, as even the most seasoned fishermen have their off days when nothing is biting. If the focus is on catching fish, kids might grow discouraged and not want to come back if they don’t catch anything on their first trip.

Focus on the fun everyone is having rather than the fish they are (or aren’t) catching. Some youngsters might just be thrilled to spend a day out on the water with their parents. Encourage that enthusiasm and kids are more likely to remember their first fishing trips fondly.

Break time

Kids might not have a full day of fishing in them on their first trip. Frequent breaks to explore nearby nature, enjoy a snack or even toss a ball around can keep children from growing bored throughout the day.

Safe boating involves following the rules of the water and also keeping marine environments clean and protected.

Protect the environment with safe boating

Reduce engine exhaust

Keep boats in proper working order Poorly maintained boats may harm the environment. Inefficiently working engines can produce more exhaust and contaminate the air and water. Oil and other mechanical fluids can leak into the water and affect the marine environment. Proper maintenance helps keep boats safe and minimizes their impact on the environment.

Whenever possible, row, paddle or use sails to decrease engine use and subsequent exhaust. When engines must be used, do not idle Use pump-out stations unnecessarily. Always steer clear of the aft of the boat, where fuel fumes and carbon monoxide Pump out stations at marinas enable boaters to safely dispose of the contents from sanitary can cause serious health implications. systems without waste ending up in the water.

Avoid antifouling paints

Boaters who plan to enter the water and explore should tread delicately. Coastal areas often play home to birds and other wildlife. Use caution around reefs and habitats.

Antifouling paints are special paints applied to the underside of vessels to prevent or slow down the growth of barnacles and other organisms.

Maritime New Zealand notes that these paints can harm other sea life and prove dangerous when scraped off and not discarded properly.

Respect marine ecosystems

HOMES & DESIGN • LAKE LIVING

Recreational boating reaches its peak when the weather warms up and people take to waterways in droves. Spending a day on the water enjoying the scenery or trying your luck at fishing are popular pastimes.

Following proper boating practices and etiquette can protect everyone onboard.

Although ensuring passenger safety should be a priority, safeguarding against environmental impacts while boating also should be a concern.

Marinas and various marine areas can become contaminated with pollutants generated from boating activities. Boat cleaning, fueling and marine head discharge are just a few of the pollutants that can find their ways into the water. A past study in the marine reserve of Cape Creus in the Mediterranean Sea found that boat anchoring also is a considerable threat to marine habitats, as vulnerable ecologies can be

damaged by anchors.

Although there are regulations in place to protect marine life and ecosystems, these rules aren’t always adhered to. Recreational boaters can do their part to keep oceans, bays, rivers, and lakes pristine by adhering to some sound advice.

Boating is a safe and fun activity when boaters maintain their boats and take steps to protect themselves from dangers like carbon monoxide.

Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning on your boat

STOCK PHOTO Lake Living

Irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness, and dizziness are some of the early symptoms of CO poisoning. These are easily and often mistaken as seasickness when on a boat. Any of the aforementioned symptoms should be addressed immediately.

People experiencing these symptoms should be moved to a fresh air environment, observed and given oxygen, if necessary.

Seek medical help and shut off potential sources of CO, if possible. Do not write these

Protect yourself and others from CO

The USCG recommends all boaters learn where and how CO can accumulate on their boats. Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times, running exhaust blowers whenever the generator is operating.

When hosting others on their boats, boaters should make sure everyone steers clear of engine and generator exhaust outlets. Boaters and their guests should never sit, teak surf or hang on the back deck or swim platform while engines are running.

The USCG notes that the presence of exhaust fumes means CO is present, too.

Dissipate fumes immediately upon detecting them.

source of CO poisoning on a boat. Gas generators, cooking ranges and space and water heaters also pose a threat.

CO is dangerous because it can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, preventing the body from getting the oxygen it needs. The USCG notes that both prolonged exposure to low concentrations of CO or very quick exposure to high concentrations of CO can prove fatal.

Boating is a rewarding hobby that allows people to spend ample time on the water enjoying the great outdoors. Fresh air and boating might go hand in hand, but a danger may be lurking in the air on or around boats that can put boaters’ health in jeopardy.

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, carbon monoxide, or CO, can accumulate anywhere in or around a boat. Inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures and blocked exhaust outlets are just two places where CO can accumulate.

Exhaust also can get trapped in enclosed places, potentially leading to the accumulation of CO. Fortunately, the USCG notes that CO poisoning is entirely preventable. Routine maintenance and attentive boat ownership can protect boaters and their passengers from the threat posed by CO poisoning.

install retractable screen walls, which can be motorized, and are meant primarily to keep insects out of the patio area. Retractable privacy walls, usually in the form of canvas or polyester fabric horizontal shades, can provide a respite from weather and enhance the feeling of a private sanctuary.

Beautiful low-maintenance materials are a must for any outdoor living space that homeowners would like to spend time enjoying, rather than performing backbreaking annual maintenance. Taking care of traditional wood decking can be a difficult and frustrating process since it is subject to staining and splintering, and may require annual sanding and painting.

Composite decking is growing in popularity across the United States not only for its lower maintenance requirements, but also its unparalleled beauty that can emulate anything from the rustic beauty of reclaimed wood to the high-impact look of exotic hardwoods.

HOMES & DESIGN • LAKE LIVING

The dream of a perfect outdoor space where homeowners can enjoy the beauty of nature while still being completely comfortable is no longer limited to a specific climate or time of year.

A one-of-a-kind, all-seasons deck is possible if the right features are included in the design.

The key is to combine features that protect from the elements, and then use the right materials to make it happen.

Whether you’re revamping an existing area, or creating a brand-new outdoor living space to enjoy all year long, the following deck additions can turn any project into an all-seasons oasis to enjoy with family and friends.

Overhead covering on a deck can shield

guests from the elements directly, as well as provide a scaffold for features such as a ceiling fan, which can cool the area in the warmer months and improve heated air flow during cooler months.

Homeowners can choose from deck shades or awnings in a variety of materials to defend against rain and wind, or to reduce sun exposure and cool the area.

A pergola is also a beautiful addition to a custom deck that doesn’t provide full coverage like a roof or awning, but can serve as a solid framework for other features such as climbing vines or hanging plants that both provide cover and add ambiance to the outdoor oasis.

Retractable walls are a high-tech option that allows for free air movement during the mild spring and fall, and protection from sun, wind, rain, snow and even bugs during the extreme summer and winter. Some luxury decks and patios utilize retractable glass walls for a defense against wind or rain that doesn’t obstruct the view. A more common tactic is to

“What kind of decking you choose makes a huge impact on the overall look and feel of your outdoor living space,” said Shara Gamble, director of sales and marketing for TAMKO’s Envision Decking. “One of the best things about composite decking is it’s easy to preserve its beautiful appearance throughout the seasons, which means you can spend more time relaxing and enjoying your outdoor spaces with family and friends.”

Incorporate the elements into the deck in a controlled way to boost enjoyment of an outdoor living space regardless of the season. For colder months, adding a fire element can provide a cozy and mesmerizing focal point.

Arranging comfortable seating around a fireplace or fire pit provides a great place to gather with friends and family and provide warmth on a cool summer night or fall weekend. During the hotter months, installing a water element to the deck can provide a cooling touch and a visual centerpiece. Fountains, misters, or even a lap pool can provide a welcome respite from the heat during the summer, and a soothing, meditative backdrop for the rest of the year.

Although decks are generally a mild-weather attraction, there are many ways to make an outdoor living space functional and enjoyable during the rest of the year, regardless of the geographic location.

How to make grilling more eco-friendly

MAY 2019 STOCK PHOTO Lake Living

Learn the ways to make grilling an even more environmentally friendly way to cook.

Page 13

See GRILLING, Page 14

HOMES & DESIGN • LAKE LIVING

Few things can beat a relaxing evening spent in the yard gathered around the grill in the company of friends and family. Cooking food over an open fire dates back centuries.

Despite the various modern means of cooking food, the combination of a metal grill and some flames remains one of the more tasty ways to prepare meals.

Grilling is a relatively easy concept to master, but environmentalists may question if firing up the barbecue is a smart choice. Rest assured that while the environmental impact of grilling is negligible, there still are ways to make it even more eco-friendly.

Grilling purists may prefer charcoal to gas, feeling charcoal more effectively produces that familiar smoky flavor, but environmental experts say that gas grills may be better for the environment. A study by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Department of Energy found that gas grills generate 5.6 pounds of carbon dioxide per hour, while charcoal grills produce 11 pounds per hour.

Furthermore, the charcoal briquettes used on many grills are made from more than just coal. They may contain wood byproducts, starch, chemical additives, and lighter fluid.

For those who insist on charcoal, use natural lump charcoal, which is made from coal and little else.

Another step to take is to invest in a quality grill. Replacing a cheap grill every few years can be harmful to the environment, especially when you consider how many components go into the construction of a grill and the packaging required for shipping long distances.

Quality products last longer, and that durability benefits the planet.

In addition to buying a better grill, you must take good care of the grill and maintain it so it works optimally.

In certain ways, grilling is already an ecofriendly activity, as it doesn’t lend well to prepackaged foods and it enables you to turn off the stove while reducing your electricity consumption. In some instances, you may not even need to fire up the barbecue at all.

If you’re spending the evening by a chiminea or a fire pit, you can skewer a couple of hot dogs and cook them right over the flames.

Do not offset the benefits of grilling by creating a bigger environmental hazard in meal preparation and service.

Minimize the use of disposable plates, napkins, cups, and plastic cutlery at your backyard event. Rather than single-serve cans of soda or iced tea, use large pitchers or bulk-sized containers. Insist guests discard all recyclable materials in the proper

versatile fleet of boats. You’ll pay a monthly fee and be able to book your time on the water online. Most boat clubs take care of docking, cleaning and maintenance, with members responsible for fuel. Plus, most offer boat training courses as part of the membership.

Rent a boat

Rental options are available on most waterways and provide hourly, daily or weekly access to a variety of boat types. Rental outfitters give tutorials on operating a boat, share safety instructions and offer suggestions on destinations.

Another rental option is peerto-peer rentals, where you can locate boats online by entering your zip code, allowing you to rent someone else’s boat, which usually includes insurance and captains for hire to help you set sail.

• Grilling

Take a class

Sign up for a boating lesson to hone your powerboating, sailing or watersports skills by mastering the basics while having fun along the way. On-water training courses, watersports camps, youth boating programs and more are offered across the United States.

Float your own boat

Chart your own course to boat ownership by visiting DiscoverBoating.com, where you’ll find a boat finder and loan calculator tool to help determine your budget and identify the types of boats that fit your lifestyle and interests. Once you’ve narrowed down your search, the site connects you with manufacturers whose boats best fit your needs and wants.

Learn how to go boating close to home by using Discover Boating’s Go Boating Today tool. Enter your zip code to find nearby rentals, classes, boat clubs and more. (BPT)

recycling receptacles.

Promptly wrapping up leftovers is another way to make grilling even greener.

Refrigerating foods means you will have good meals for the rest of the week and will minimize spoiled food that would otherwise end up in the garbage.

When shopping for foods to

toss on the barbie, choose locally grown foods and sustainably raised and harvested meats and poultry. Serve generous portions of locally produced vegetables to stretch food even further.

Grilling is a great way to cook in an eco-friendly way if you make a few changes for the better.
