Wanted! Your Boating Safety Tips

[lonehunter]

it may sound stupid because most of us would recive a brused ego , but in a real emergency situation proves invaluable , a banner with the words i need help on it in large letters . i was once on the detroit river and lost the engine ,( bad gas ) i ended up in lake erie down by monroe before getting some assistance from a fellow angeler , many an boat i passed on my voyage down . blinking my lights and blowing the horn had no effect in getting any help . i had even been waving my shirt in the air . no help at all .
personal flotation devices are number one though , a cell phone or marine radio number two . being able to get help when needed is top priority , every second counts !
