Recreational Boating, unsafe at any speed

Per the June 8, 2006 Buffalo News sports page D5, Boating section,
I quote:


"Unsafe boating


Forty-two people lost their lives during the Coast Guard Auxiliary National Safe
Boating Week, May 20-29, held prior to the local event.


Auxiliary officials have cited many reasons for the deaths, including the
possibility of alcohol use, along with weather conditions and failure to wear
life jackets.


The Coast Guard Auxiliary has sent a stern warning to the rest of us to practice
safe boating. That means making sure the boat meets state and federal equipment
regulations, being knowledgeable about safe boating practices and using common
sense. For more information and Safe Boating Class times and locations, go to
www.wynboatsafe.org."


That's just plain crazy. Forty-two people? I wish I knew how many fatalities per
boating capita that comes to. I'd guess is pretty darn high.
