Have a happy & safe Labor Day, everyone! 🇺🇸☀️🍉

Have late summer plans for fun on-water? Fantastic!

No matter where your adventure takes you, be sure to pack your safety skills for tubing, fishing or hunting from a boat.

– Wear your life jacket: It’s the single most effective way to prevent drowning. Drownings can happen quickly and silently, even to strong swimmers. A life jacket buys precious time and can make all the difference.

– Share the space: Give other boats, docks and hunting blinds space on the water.

– Share your plan: Let someone know your trip plan and follow it, including return time.

– Boat sober: Impairment impacts judgement and reaction time and can increase risk of injury or death. Alcohol is a contributing factor in Wisconsin’s boating incidents.
