This week’s show – Boating safety, border security

May 10th, 2012 by Rick

N. W. Ohio’s most trusted hosts visit the U. S. Coast Guard facility in Toledo, for the very first time, hosted by the Toledo Sail and Power Squadron. The Coast Guard is becoming vigilant in boating safety and border security.

This area is unique in boating activities having an international border to deal with. Last year’s Ohio boating statistics showed 12 fatalities and none were wearing a PFD. Much of the discussion will focus on PFD’s. Also this year’s theme will focus on the first line of boating safety, using your brain. Last year’s late season fatality when 2 grown men went duck hunting in 50 mph winds and a driving rain.
