Life Jacket Storage Tip! ✨ Before putting your life jackets away for the winter, ensure they’re in good condition and are completely dry. Replace as needed before the warm season begins. What do you do this time of year to prepare for boating season next year?

Any time of year, a life jacket should be part of your essential gear. Any time you’re on the water, wear your life jacket. 🎣 Fall, Level 50 resources, and more available at safeboatingcampaign.com

Today is Falls Overboard Safety Standdown Day!
Across America's waterways, vessel operators, mariners, and safety leaders are coming together to discuss falls overboard prevention and recommit to protecting every member of our crews.
Take 10-15 minutes today to review procedures, discuss risks, reinforce safe work practices, and identify opportunities to make your operation even safer. Because one fall overboard is one too many.
Participating? Share a photo of your discussion and use#StopFallsOverboard and#AWOSafety to show your commitment to safety and join mariners nationwide in this important conversation.
Let's work together to #StopFallsOverboard. ⚓

Stay alert and maintain a proper lookout while boating. Give large vessels and other boats plenty of space, especially when they have limited ability to stop or turn. #SafeBoating #ODW26

There’s safety in numbers. When you’re out on the water with others, you have more than your own resources to rely on if something goes wrong. Bring a buddy, look out for one another and be prepared to help when it matters most. #SafeBoating #ODW26

Leave the alcoholic beverages at shore. A drunk boater becomes a drunk driver at the boat ramp. Always #BoatSober! #ODW26

Many nonalcoholic beers are flat-out terrible. But when one does manage to replicate the aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel of real beer, it feels a bit magical. Here are our favorites: nyti.ms/4y3sop7

Got a 14er on your summer to-do list? To celebrate CO’s 150th birthday, you can now hike a 14er at your own pace in your own style. No steep climbing/loose rocks required. A Flat 14er is a new twist on hiking any number of CO’s famous 14,000-foot mountains –– but w/o the vert.

Sun’s out! Don’t forget your skincare basics!
🕶️ Wear broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen
☀️ Add a hat, sunglasses, or lightweight cover-up
🕶️ Don’t forget easy-to-miss spots like ears, lips, neck, hands, and tops of feet
Stay cool and enjoy every minute on the water!

July is Sun Safe Boating Month, and it’s also a time to remember that the safest boaters are sober boaters. Before you head out this holiday weekend, pack the sunscreen, bring plenty of water, wear your life jacket, and always boat sober. ☀️ @NASBLA @OpDryWater @SafeBoatCouncil
