A look at good things happening!
This year many of us are delayed in getting to see our boats. If this is you, you might feel a bit worried about how your boat is doing. What if it’s been damaged while ashore in the off-season?
Did you know that most insurance companies are being flexible to the greatest extent possible? Here’s one example: To the end of July 2020, Aviva (i.e. Skippers’ Plan) has committed to not cancelling policies for non-payment if a client has lost their job.
It’s Safe Boating Awareness Week
With social distancing a way of life over the past months, Canadians are itching to get back on the water. In many areas of Canada, it will become a reality this long weekend. For those of you that are able to go boating, the CSBC (Canadian Safe Boating Council) wants to remind you that the water is still cold and for many, your boat has been laid up over the winter and your boating skills might be rusty.
- Wear Your Lifejacket
- Boat Sober
- Be Prepared, You and Your Boat
- Take a Boating Course
- Be Aware of Cold Water Risks
Remember to stay safe, and learn the best tips and tricks from the CSBC here!
