PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
500 AM EDT SUN MAY 19 2013

...NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK MAY 18 THROUGH MAY 24...

THIS IS THE SECOND IN A DAILY SERIES OF MESSAGES PRODUCED BY THE 
PARTNERED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND NATIONAL SAFE BOATING COUNCIL.

THIS BOATING SEASON MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VESSEL 
SAFETY CHECK PROGRAM...A FREE NO RISK SERVICE PROVIDED IN OUR AREA 
BY THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD AUXILIARY AND THE UNITED STATES 
POWER SQUADRONS.  

A QUALIFIED VESSEL EXAMINER WILL CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF ALL THE 
REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT CARRIED OR INSTALLED ON A VESSEL AND 
CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE VESSELS OVERALL CONDITION. 

EVEN IF YOU PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO SAFETY...DANGEROUS MECHANICAL 
PROBLEMS CAN CROP UP ON THE BEST MAINTAINED BOAT. THAT IS WHY THE 
UNITED STATES COAST GUARD RECOMMENDS ALL RECREATIONAL BOATS 
INCLUDING PERSONAL WATERCRAFT...GET A FREE VESSEL SAFETY CHECK EACH 
YEAR. 

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK IS OUR BEST WAY OF LEARNING ABOUT CONDITIONS 
THAT MIGHT PUT US IN VIOLATION OF STATE OR FEDERAL LAWS OR 
WORSE...CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR OURSELVES ON THE WATER.       

IF THE VESSEL MEETS ALL FEDERAL AND STATE REQUIREMENTS...THE 
EXAMINER WILL AWARD A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK DECAL. IF THE VESSEL FAILS 
TO RECEIVE A DECAL...NO LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION IS TAKEN AND THE 
EXAMINER WILL PROVIDE A LIST OF ITEMS FOR CORRECTION.
