As I sit and write this, it is nearly 80° outside.  Summer is quickly approaching.  It is days like this when most people would like to head for the nearest lake or ocean.  If you are fortunate enough to own a boat, you are familiar with the enjoyment watercraft can bring.  But do you know the hazards?

            The U. S. Coast Guard says that there were 710 deaths related to boating accidents in 2006.  Of those, 29 were children 12 years of age or younger.  The number of  injuries are in the thousands.  The Coast Guard lists the main contributing factors to boating accidents as being: operator inattention, careless or reckless operation, excessive speed, passenger or skier behavior, no proper lookout, operator inexperience and alcohol usage.
