Boating safety course becomes mandatory in California in 2015

Boating safety course becomes mandatory in California in 2015



Californian Boaters Get Ready!  It is time to take your boating safety course!



Question: Do you have your boating safety course certificate?

It the answer is no, you have a few days left to go online!



New boating laws are set to go into effect in California with the start of the new year, including one that would require anyone operating a boat to complete a vessel operator course.



Co-authored by Democratic state Sens. Bill Monning and Mark DeSaulnier, SB 941 requires recreational boaters to pass a sanctioned boating education course and obtain a vessel operator card in order to operate a motorboat. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law in September.

Motorist Stranded on Flooded Roadway Assisted by Rescue Water Craft



Here is a Fire Service Agency utilizing their Rescue Water Craft (RWC) to assist a motorist in Sonoma County on a flooded roadway with standing water.  With the response time and water depth and low risk of current flow, it might have been faster to walk the motorist out of the area, but then that would depend on other factors. The depth of water in these situations can be too shallow for the draft of a water intake draw into the jet pump and or the hull can strike the roadway and damage the gelcoat.  Regardless, it is a great effort and we appreciate viewing a good operator conducting a positive point of contact in this assist.
