1. Take it Slow
When driving around docks or other boaters, taking it slow is the best option. Unlike vehicles, boats don’t have a break to quickly stop when needed. Taking your time when driving a boat on the water makes for a safer and more enjoyable outing.
2. Stay Hydrated
Be sure to bring plenty of water to keep everyone hydrated. The summer heat can quickly dehydrate the body. Staying on top of this situation is beneficial for all. The last thing anyone wants when trying to enjoy the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks is to get sick from a lack of water.
3. Pack Those Snacks
Do not forget to pack food to last for the duration of your voyage. Along with staying hydrated, having enough food is crucial for a great day on the water. Your group will be cranky if you do not have enough food for them!
4. Waterproof Bag
Although no one plans on getting their personal items wet, it does happen. Place phones, wallets, and other items in a waterproof bag or plastic bag at the least. Keeping these items in a safe location on the boat helps keep them dry as well.
5. Sunscreen
Remember to pack the sunblock to protect from getting too burnt while out on the water all day. Being around water can multiply the sun’s rays, so you are more apt to get a sunburn.
6. Dress Appropriately
Bringing clothing that can cover your skin if you do get too much sun is a good idea. Also packing sunglasses and hats to protect your face and eyes can be helpful for enjoying your boating experience.
7. Lifejacket
Making sure to have properly fitting life jackets for everyone attending is also a good idea. Nothing is more uncomfortable than wearing a lifejacket that is either too big or, even worse, too small! A properly fitting life preserver helps everyone enjoy themselves in the water.
8. Weather Check
Before setting out on an excursion on the boat, double-check the weather to make sure nothing has changed. Having your family and friends out on a boat while it is raining will be memorable, but not the most fun situation. Being on the water during a storm can be dangerous as well. Checking the weather throughout the day is also a good idea, if your device allows. Missouri weather changes frequently, so don’t be caught off guard on the water.
