With alcohol still a leading cause of deadly boating accidents — seven incidents this year alone involved impaired operators — authorities are urging everyone to wear life jackets (especially kids under 13), carry fire extinguishers, and use proper lighting at night. Slow down in busy areas, avoid boating under the influence, and remember: the water isn’t forgiving — stay sober, stay safe, and enjoy the holiday responsibly.
