Faster, better…

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that, “Maryland has already EXCEEDED last year’s total for boating fatalities.” Marylanders have been extraordinarily careless on the water water resulting in numbers of fatalities almost exceeding the worst year year, 2006. None of the those who died were wearing life jackets.

It is consistent with what I have seen just eight hundred feet from home off the beach near Breezy Point. Last weekend residents witnessed a careless PWC operator with four young children speed through swimming areas. None of the PWC occupants were wearing life jackets.

Maryland, wake up. Be safe on the water please.
