Be smart out there!

I was sitting at Sutherland beach this past weekend and was surprised by the lack of people wearing personal flotation devices when they are kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. I saw a family with 2 kids kayaking. Nobody had a PFD!

Accidents happen and every year we hear about a drowning in the lake. With all the boaters out there all it takes is a crash and you become unconscious, even if you don't. The distance some of these people were from the shoreline was insane. Very few people can swim huge distances without getting tired, the lake is known for ever changing conditions.

Gear up people. Be smart out there!
