Would you set out fishing for lake trout with deep sea tackle and spinners? Never, you say? 'Always • prepared? But you can make the same claim about your boating skills? " Every year some 115 people are accidentally shot reports the Canadian Safety Council. But a lot more people fall out of boats in drowning and near -drowning incidents. • The Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Service believes boats are potentially more lethal than guns. "Last year we had 107 boat -related drownings in Ontario," says Gabrielle Moule, Chairman of On- tario's Red Cross Water Safety program. "Many of these occurred in late fall and involved hunters and fishermen who just didn't regard "boatmanship" as an important part of their trip preparation." "Must hunters don't wear lifejackets" says Toronto Star outdoor writer John Power. "I recom- menlihe bright orange jacke„ts_now on the market r), whicrovide both warmth and safety. he other problem we find is that hunters do tend to overload their boats, then put in a couple of dogs on top of everything. Add a deer to that, if you're lucky, and you have an accident in the making. "Hunters should remember to keep dogs restrain- ed in the boat to spend an extra few minutes and take a route along the shoreline, instead of heading straight out across a lake. And, if they're optimistic about their catch, load the boat lightly.. Or make two trips...safety's more important than time." The Coast Guard Ship Safety Branch publishes a • comprehensive booklet entitled "Boating Safety Guide" which contains not only regulations but also . safety precautions. Red Cross branches across the country also have. a wide selection of literature available. and conduct Small Craft Safety courses fot the public.
