There’s no place like Alaska for fun on the water. However, like all outdoor activities, boating comes with some risks. The biggest risk to Alaska’s boaters is a fall overboard or a boat capsizing (flips over). Alaska’s cold water can quickly take your breath away and make swimming really hard. The most important thing is to ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET when in an open boat or on deck. By wearing your life jacket you can stay afloat so you can breathe, rescue yourself, or be more easily seen by others so you can be rescued.
