Day Weekend is one of the top three boating weekends of the year on many Oregon lakes and rivers, attracting thousands to the alluring banks and warmest water of the season. To keep things fun and safe, the Oregon State Marine Board suggests taking the time
to plan your water getaway and take home the following pointers:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:27.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-13.5pt;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

</span></span></span><![endif]><b>Don’t drink and boat.</b> Boating is a great social activity, but the Marine Board encourages boaters and persons floating on the waterways, to leave the alcohol on shore. It’s safer for everyone. If arrested for Boating Under
the Influence of Intoxicants (BUII), violators can be fined up to $6,250; can lose boating privileges for up to three years and even serve jail time.
<span lang="EN">Consumption of intoxicants on many Oregon waterways is up, and so are accidents involving alcohol. So far this year, 10 people have lost their lives in recreational boating incidents, and many of which involve drugs and alcohol.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:27.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-13.5pt;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

</span></span></span><![endif]><b>Know your waterway.</b> “Be familiar with your surroundings and always watch where you are going,” says Ashley Massey, Public Information Officer for the Marine Board. “Stumps, deadheads and sand and gravel bars can appear
out of nowhere with water depth changes. Start out slow and get your bearings. Water levels around the state are very low which means sand and gravel bars may feel like they appear out of nowhere.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:27.0pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:-13.5pt;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">

</span></span></span><![endif]><b>Know what rules apply.</b> “There are all types of watercraft on the market; some are considered boats and others are pool toys. Boats are designed differently, and by state law, have specific equipment requirements such as
having enough properly fitted life jackets and a sound producing device, like a whistle. Attach the whistle to your life jacket and you’re set.” Massey adds. “If you plan to float the river, keep in mind that pool toys are designed for use in a swimming
pool – have no directional control, and puncture easily in rivers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:27.0pt;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">If you are planning a relaxing float, do so in a watercraft designed for the river; one which won’t easily puncture and comes properly equipped
with a paddle so you can maneuver away from obstructions.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Wear your life jacket.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> Each boat (including kayaks, inflatable boats and canoes) must have a properly fitting
life jacket for each person on board and at least one sound producing device, like a whistle. Life jackets need to be in good shape and readily accessible – not under a hatch or in its packaging. All youth younger than 13 must wear a life jacket when in
a boat that’s underway. U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that <i>over half of all boating fatalities occur with small boats on calm waterways, in shallow water and sunny conditions</i>. Ninety percent of boating fatality victims this year were not wearing
a life jacket, on par with Oregon’s average of 85-90% over the last 30 years. <o:p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Sit on the seat.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> The growth of wake surfing is luring many people to ride on the swim platform, stern, sides
and the bow of unenclosed boats. The stern can be a dangerous place for exposure to carbon monoxide and a prop-strike safety hazard. It is illegal to ride on the bow, decks, gunwales or transoms of a motor boat when the boat is underway. Sitting on designated
seat cushions is the safest place to be –especially when the boat is towing someone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Slow down and keep a sharp lookout.</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> Know the boating regulations for your area of operation. Always obey the
“slow no-wake” buoys or signs. Boaters are responsible for their wake. Remember to slow down within 200 feet of a dock, launch ramp, marina, moorage, floating home or boathouse, pier or swim float. Be courteous with paddlers who are also sharing the waterway.
Wakes can easily swamp low-freeboard paddle craft. Don’t allow your wakes to generate negative attention from other boaters, property owners, and possibly, result in a citation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Youth 12-15 who operate a powerboat 0-10 hp alone must carry a boater education card. When operating a powerboat greater than 10 hp, youth must be supervised by a card-holding adult age 16 or older. When operating a personal watercraft, the supervising adult
must be 18 or older. Educated boaters are much less likely to be involved in boating accidents because they know the “rules of the road.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

not having life jackets, failure to carry a boater education card and aquatic invasive species permit. Other violations involve reckless operation and drugs and alcohol impairment. “Boating is the best escape, and a long weekend before heading back to school
and other responsibilities makes it even better,” Massey adds. “Just remember to prepare, and plan so you can have the best time out on the water, playing.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
