Free vessel safety check

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will offer a free Vessel Safety Check on May 23 at Meeks Bay (don’t worry, they don’t report the results to anyway) and will come to your home or any other location to provide you with this free safety check.

Minimum safety requirements for power boat under 25’ include: Numbers and registration; PFDs (life jackets); one throwable cushion; one fire extinguisher; working ventilation system; installed backfire flame arrester; work sound-producing device; working navigation lights; and visual distress signals.
