No matter what type of canoe or kayak you’re using, there are basics every boater should know. Always wear an appropriately rated and sized personal fl oatation device (PFD). Learn your craft: start slow and seek proper instruction. Practice your skills, rescues and first aid techniques in a variety of conditions until you are thoroughly familiar with them. Dress for the water temperature. Weather conditions can change quickly, turning a warm afternoon’s paddle into a challenge to remember. If you prepare to get wet, you’ll stay warm whatever nature brings your way! Protect yourself by learning to read water and weather, and never leave shore in conditions for which you are unprepared. Consult local tide charts and maps, talk to experts and be aware of weather forecasts. Never paddle alone. Let people know where you plan to go and when you plan to return.
