Another good tip from the Coat Guard Aux folks: if you have kayaks/canoes/paddlebboards or any other small boat-type of thing, be sure to put you name and phone number on it. That way, if your paddleboard blows off your dock in a storm, the Coast Guard can call and make sure you are actually quite safe, before they launch a search for a body....
Great idea. Etch the info into the plastic with a woodburning tool or soldering iron. Permanent marker eventually wears off.
Much cheaper for the CG to make a phone call than to launch a search costing thousands per hour.
Doing simple things make a big difference.
