This week's calendar (5/24-30/21)
It’s National Safe Boating Week
Through May 28, 2021 • During National Safe Boating Week, marine patrol deputies will be educating boaters and encouraging the safe and lawful operation of vessels. “National Safe Boating Week is a great opportunity for boaters to take the time to ensure they have all the proper safety equipment on their boat in the event an emergency occurs,” noted Dutchess County Sheriff Anderson. U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in four out of every five recreational boating fatalities in 2019, and that 86 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets. As Roosevelt Fire Chief Lew Darrow noted after a rescue in Staatsburg over the weekend: River conditions can change at any time, and life vests should be worn at all times. If a boater experiences an emergency while on the Hudson River, all occupants should immediately put on PFDs. The boater can hail for assistance on VHF Channel 16, call 911 from their cellphone, and deploy a visual distress signal to get the attention of other boaters or people on land.
