Boating on a river, an inland lake or on the waters of our coastline, requires more knowledge than simply climbing aboard and pushing off. Doing that is a threat to yourself and others. You can take steps now to make sure that you are educated and have the skills to safely take your boat out on any waters and to safely return.
