Before
boating always remember: |

Marine Insurance! |

weight evenly; don't pile all the gear in front, back, or to one side. |
| Check
the tide chart; running with the tide can save you up to 20% on fuel! |
| Have
a good tool kit on board. |
| Check
expiration dates on the marine flairs and safety kit. |
| Always
wear a life jacket. |
| First
aid kit, a must! (Though not required on small boats by the USCG) |
| Always
check the forecast. |
| Extra
clothing for the unexpected swim!! |
