Indeed it does, especially at the beginning of the boating season where in many areas it can be a very dangerous time on the water. Same with major holidays that seem to bring out all the reckless idiots.
To this list I would add be extremely careful about being out on the water after dark. Visibility is a real challenge and remember, intoxicated boaters are coming back from dock bars.
Stay safe out there.
Excellent advise. There is absolutely no reason to be on the water after dark. vision, landmarks, distance and lights all become distorted, even for experienced boaters. In fact, after years of boating on the Great Lakes, we were on the water barely a handful of times after dark and mistakes are easily made, even with great equipment.
