We can knot believe how fast summer is ending. 😉 Knowing how to tie correct and crisp knots regardless of the season will ensure you keep your vessel secure, avoid accidents, and are prepared for any situation on the water.

Always wear an engine cutoff device and a life jacket. If you capsize, stay with your boat, unless the shore is very close. The lake’s shore may look easy to reach, but often cold water, waves, current, exhaustion, or injury can make the swim deadly.

HISTORY WEDNESDAY
This week’s photograph shows log dumping operations by the Diamond Match Company along the Pend Oreille River.

Logs were moved down the wooden ramp and into the river, where they could be floated downstream using the dam’s log chute. The operation offers a glimpse into the region’s timber industry and the methods used to transport logs by water.

🎃👻 Halloween is almost here! 👻🎃

Looking for some fun, water-safety-themed Halloween activities? Check out the Bobber Halloween Pack at www,Bobber.info featuring fun pumpkin stencils and a Bobber mask! You can also find the Life Jacket-o’-Lantern paper model activity — the perfect way to add a little water safety to your Halloween fun.

And remember, the best safety trick is to keep a close eye on children and make sure they wear a properly fitted life jacket whenever they’re in, on, or near open water — including lakes, rivers, and ponds.

Have a safe, spooky, and fun Halloween!

Happy Fall, all!

What better way to highlight the changing seasons than with a fun fall water safety riddle?

As the season begins to change remember life jackets are always in fashion and should be worn anytime you’re near the water. So, size your life jacket right, buckle or zip it up, and have fun recreating.

Before you launch your boat or cast a line this fall, always "Know Before You Go." Check local weather forecasts, water levels, and dam release schedules. Conditions can change rapidly, so be prepared for anything!
