Getting Prepared

The season is fast approaching to get boats back in the water. The good weather in the last week has no doubt started to get people busy cleaning and preparing any size of boat whether a sit on kayak up to a 75ft power boat. Don't forget that the safety equipment is also important and despite the financial constraints on us all, don't cut corners. Ensure your flares are in date and serviceable. Life jackets in full working order. If you have an engine on board......get it serviced. Is the battery OK on your radio? Have you registered your vessel with the Coastguard? Or perhaps you have repainted the boat and need to update the Coastguard? Just a few pointers to ensure you have a fun and happy Summer.
