LEGISLATIVE ALERT
=====================
The Coast Guard is attempting to mandate the wearing of PFDs on board
boats at all times in the U. S.. This ridiculous restriction is being
attempted at a time when boating injuries and deaths are DOWN
nationwide. Contact authorities in your area and fight this!
Behind The Boat is all for safety first, but responsible boaters can
decide for themselves when it is prudent to don protective gear.
..
Is your school, club, or organization having an event that's not on our
calendar? E-mail me with the details.
Could your watersports-related company benefit from exposure to
thousands boat-towed sports enthusiasts a month? Contact me for
sponsorship information.
This announcement is a service of Behind The Boat.
