Geocache Description:




Each year, a majority of boating deaths are a result of drowning, and a majority of these victims are not wearing life jackets. Reports have shown that many boating accidents are preventable, and by wearing a life jacket, boaters increase their chances of survival. Follow the boating laws and these safety tips:

Wear approved life jackets: Washington State law requires all vessels (including non-motorized watercraft) carry at least one U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person on board. Additionally, vessels 16' or longer must have one U.S. Coast Guard-approved throwable personal flotation device aboard. Life jackets must be worn by those on personal watercraft (such as jet skis) and water skiers. Children ages 12 and younger must wear life jackets when aboard vessels less than 19' long.

Check life jackets: Ensure all life jackets are in good condition. Check for tears, wear and proper fit. Life jacket sizing is based on body weight and chest size, and children often grow out of their life jackets from season to season.

Life jacket loaner program: If boaters do not have the required number of life jackets aboard their vessels, life jackets are available for loan at many boat launches, marinas and state parks, including Larrabee State Park, across Washington. These life jackets are available for the day or weekend use at no cost.
