5 Key Steps to Safer Boating!
1
Legally you must carry one on board, appropriately sized for each passenger. But don’t just carry it. WEAR IT.
2
Boating under the influence is not just illegal; it’s irresponsible. Wait until you get back to the pier to have that beer.
3
The law now requires that anyone driving a motorized boat must have a pleasure-craft operator card. It’s for your own safety and that of your passengers. Don’t get caught without one. Take a course and get your license!
The Town of Fox Creek has a Web Page! The website is updated regularly with everything you need to know about what’s happening around Town including; Council Highlights, meeting dates and times, events calendars, residential resources, etc.
