Personal Watercraft Insurance, Emergency Preparedness
Check that your first aid kit for the boat is fully stocked and that none of the ointments or pain relief medications has expired. Be sure to carry emergency gear with you so that in the event of an emergency you have adequate supplies to last until help arrives. Items you need include water, flashlights, non-perishable food items, waterproof matches and warm clothing or blankets. Also be ready to file a float plan with a friend or at the marina by giving someone written details about where you are going, who is on the boat and when you will be back. Make sure to check in when you return from your trip or if you need to modify your float plan.
