Mid-Summer Safe Boating Checklist
We have been made aware of incidents involving boats and jet skis this summer. Therefore, in the interest of lake safety, we are reminding our members and friends of the Coast Guard Boating Safety Checklist and the summary of the Massachusetts boating laws. In the event that there are spot checks on the lake, we want to ensure that everyone is in compliance and that we are able to share the lake safely, together. We encourage everyone to take a look at the list and get their boats in order.
Please visit the Coast Guard website for a full listing and explanation
Have a happy and safe summer!
