My wife had a roommate in college who was sitting on the front of a pontoon boat when the drive made a sharp turn and threw her off in between the pontoons. She ended up getting hit in the face/neck with the prop and nearly killer her. Somehow she managed to make it to the ER and live to tell about it. She had some pretty serious scaring and a hell of a story to tell. Be careful on the water! Quick Story.

I love buzzing around our pond in that thing. Can the cops come onto my property to inspect me and my paddle boat? One of the rudders is broken. Jim reefed on the steering knob way too hard. The guy is always breaking stuff at my house. Would you guys say that these tips apply to my paddle boat? I love buzzing around our pond in that thing.

Just to add on a little... 1. Do regular checks and servicing on live saving apparatus every time when you set sail. Many people figured that after the annual check, it is safe enough but incidents do happen due to wear and tear, bumping and knocking. 2. Ensure life saving appartus and damage control items are easily reached. I have encountered situations of a sinking vessel with damage control items packed deep inside their storage hatch, and retrieving is difficult. It is also good to label on the inside of each hatch with a item list, so you know what is placed where. 3. While leisure crafts owners are not as educated in details with sea traffic and signals like port pilots, it is good that leisure crafts owners can spend some time familarising themselves with signal flags/horns in their waters. Have fun boating, I'm a sea lover too. I used to be working for the Coast Guard, although not in Canada. Just to add on a little…
