Episode 99: Boater Safety Course

I grew up around boats. If asked I would have responded I’m in the upper 95% of safe boaters. I was 100% sure my boat would pass a safety inspection.

I was dead wrong. I have habits that not only were wrong but violated law. My boat, Discovery would have failed a safety inspection.

Giving up a Saturday to go through the Idaho Boater Safety Course was a decision I made not because of a legal requirement, in fact its not required in Idaho, but one I did to first learn more about being a better boater, but second as a prep for my USCG 6-Pack license. The course was facilitated by the Canyon County Marine Patrol and by far one of the best experiences I have had as I have been working towards my license.

Embarking on the waters of Idaho demands a profound understanding of boater safety. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into critical components of USCG boater safety, covering navigation aids, boater safety laws, lights on vessels, types and statistics of boating accidents, and an exploration of cold water immersions.
