We started on Monday 8am, on Boat Safety Training. We didn’t finish till 12; basically we learned what an acceptable PFD (Personal Flotation Device) was and what wasn’t an acceptable PFD. Learning the common mistake of putting objects on one side of the boat, to keep the boat balanced, have everything leveled and spread out evenly. Another common mistake is making sure you don’t gun the motor or make a quick stop for it will submerge the rear of the boat under water. There should always be First Aid equipment and a fire extinguisher in case the boat itself catches on fire.
