Memorial Weekend marks both the unofficial kickoff to summer and the end of National Boating Safety Week. The U.S. Coast Guard said its 9th District, covering the Great Lakes and headquartered in Cleveland, also sees its busiest season following the holiday.
“The 9th District is the busiest Coast Guard during the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day,” explained Petty Officer 3rd Class Omar Faba.
“It’s not atypical for a nice day like this for people to want to take their vessels, their watercraft out on the water and enjoy the weather,” Faba said. Faba said among the necessities to bring boating are a marine radio to make contact in case of emergencies and enough life jackets for each person in the boat. He also recommended life jackets be worn at all times on the water.
He also said it’s important to make a plan, let others know where and when you’ll be on the water and check the weather before leaving the dock.
