I saw a deer get hit tonight on the interstate. There should be a speed limit on these roads.



Safety lanyards are a great thing to have on, and they usually prevent the boat from turning in a circle and hitting ejected occupants.

PFD's can aid in the rescue efforts of people being thrown from boats, and even occasionally save them from drowning.

Four people died early in the season on Lake Winnipesaukee when they drowned after being thrown from small boats into cold water. The tremendous increase in deaths on Lake Winnipesaukee has caused many to wonder if small boats should be allowed on such a large, cold lake.

There is a bill before Congress requesting Federal aid for providing slow-speed lifejackets to those that boat in cold waters on large lakes.
