Releative to a recent drowning on Newfound

Make sure you guests know where your throw cushions are located. And what they are for...

Boating wise,

Try not to be pig headed about who is the "give way" boat is. Plan early and give a little regardless. Sometimes speeding up helps create a bigger gap.

Be aware of how big the marked area is. Just because you are 500' from shore still may not leave enough safe water for another boat to pass you. This can cause someone to apear to come close for no reason like a bonehead...

When towing a disabled boat it's hard for others to know what you are doing. Tie an orange cushoin or life jacket in the middle of the rope so people can tell you are being towed. Most will slow down if they see the tow rope.
