A "refresher" is all that's being asked for.

Free NHRBA throwable-devices, printed with a few NH-specific rules, would spread those reminders around the state. In addition to appearing aboard boats, they could even make the rules appear at docks, outdoor restaurants, picnic tables, and parades. Visitors, especially, need to be refreshed in NH-specific rules.

It would be good for everybody: those over 50, boaters who might instead operate illegally, and certainly the parents of underaged children who might operate a Jet-Ski beyond their home state.

A throw-cushion can be a lifesaver: it's wrong that an entire boat class should be exempted from carrying any life-saving device—especially a class of boat "so everywhere" on the lake.

When more than one person needs rescuing, it's an absolute necessity. IMHO.
