Webster Fire Department Classroom

6:30 to 9 PM

Imagine you are out on the water when the boat’s captain somehow is incapacitated or falls overboard and cannot swim back to the boat.  Are you prepared to take basic actions to get help, stop or start the engine and take the helm?  A little knowledge could save lives and make you feel more comfortable boating when you are not generally at the helm.  Misfortunes can and do happen while on that fishing, diving, adventure, or party charter.  Being out on your own boat with that significant other at the helm, or going out on a friends’ pontoon boat, or as a personal watercraft passenger can also turn to horror if the skipper is suddenly out of commission.  This is a boating safety primer for those not generally at the helm but would like to know what to do, to be better prepared.
