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.
