The US Coast Guard released their 2023 boater safety stats this week. While fatalities are down, alcohol and boater inexperience remain big factors in water deaths and injuries.
The bottom line: the ocean and the river near you are not a carefully controlled water park designed for fun times.
Out on the water is the real deal, a place where Mother Nature makes the rules, and you need to learn, pay attention, and boost your chances of survival by being prepared.

Today, a few things: We’ll talk about two maritime related holidays that happened this week: International Turtle Day and National Maritime Day.
And a note of concern as this holiday weekend arrives: mysterious tar balls have been showing up on beaches in SW Washington and Oregon, along with oil soaked wildlife. So far authorities have not been able to determine the cause.
If you see a bird or other creature covered in oil, call 1-800-22-BIRDS. (1-800-222-4737). This hotline is good in both Oregon and Washington.

It’s been less than two months since the containership Dali lost control as was leaving Baltimore Harbor at night, hitting the Francis Scott Key Bridge and destroying it, causing the deaths of bridge workers, and closing this key US harbor to vessel traffic.
Since then a unified command operation of skilled agencies and experts have been working to clear navigation channels so ships can resume calling on the port.
This week they made huge progress and were able to move the ship out of the way and open the deep draft ship channel.
We’ll talk about what it took to get there.
