Ahoy is here, there and everywhere on the water. One thing that goes with him everywhere is his life jacket. Like his cap, his life jacket is part of his boating picture.

Ahoy sails and canoes in waters he knows. Reading the water means observing water surface changes, markers such as buoys and changes in the weather.

Bad weather can have a nasty effect on the water. Boating smart is about knowing the rules and being able to make safe decisions while on the water. As you can see here, Ahoy is in danger. Rough water with rocks, bad weather, an upcoming dam and most important--boating alone. Luckily, Ahoy will learn from this mistake, and you should too! Boating smart is boating safety.
