Operation
Paddle Smart: Operation Paddle
Smart, though it is an ongoing program, officially
runs from May 1 to June 30. The operation is a
multi-partnered endeavor developed by the First
Coast Guard District and Coast Guard Auxiliary
to generate greater safety awareness among paddlers
and small boat operators. The primary goals are
to promote the life-saving benefit of wearing
a life jacket, to highlight the immediate danger
of sudden cold water immersion, to encourage boater
and paddler education, and to stress the importance
of being a responsible and prudent mariner.
Please wear a lifejacket while paddling. Please
also note that Connecticut State law requires
a lifejacket to be onboard at all times for each
person and that it be worn from October 1st to
May 31. |
