Spring is currently upon us and the Boating season will soon follow. and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary reminds boaters to take a boating education course now before the season rush. First District Northern Region boating statistics in 2015 clearly show the importance of wearing life jackets and taking a safe boating course.
Westport Flotilla 6-18 will offer a safe boating course entitled About Boating Safety. Enrollment is now open for all interested boaters ages 12 - adult.
The seven-week course will be given at the Westport Fire Department, 54, Hix Bridge Road, on Tuesdays starting April 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. Course fee is $35. A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion.
“It’s extremely important to get the Safe Boating message out,” said Marshall Ronco, Auxiliary District Captain. The Coast Guard Auxiliary has provided safe boating classes since the beginning in 1939. Their purpose then, as it is now, is to improve recreational boating by living up to the slogan "Safe Boating is No Accident." Enroll today, seating will be limited.
