Pontoon Boat Comes to the Rescue

What's the craziest thing you've ever done on a pontoon boat? These Michigan boaters were in the right place at the right time, and were able to save the life of a man from drowning on Center Lake.

Headed out on the lake in your pontoon boat? Make sure to follow boating safety rules and always have enough life vests aboard. It's also a good idea to brush up on your first aid and CPR lessons. Just because you're a strong swimmer and play by the rules out on the water, not everyone does, and it could be the difference between life and death.

What's Your Emergency Plan?

A recent news story about a pontoon boat that sank in Florida, is a good reminder that all boaters should have an emergency plan. While everyone made it safely off the boat thanks to help from some good Samaritan boaters in the area, this story could have had a tragic ending. Reports say that from the time the pontoon boat was spotted in distress until it was completely submerged in the water was just five minutes.

Make sure that you have enough life jackets on board for all passengers. Distress flares and air horns will help you get the attention of other boats in the area. Waterproof containers will keep valuables dry in the event of a problem.

Although the unexpected can happen anywhere, never underestimate the power of water. In the case of that sinking boat in Florida the boat was anchored when a rogue wave hit. Changing tides can be dangerous. Be alert at all times, and familiarize yourself with currents and local dangers.
