The Woman Angler & Adventurer — Boating Safety

I had the opportunity this week to catch up with Gail Kulp from the Sea Tow Foundation to get the scoop on some updates going on there with their two big programs- The Life Jacket Loaner Program as well as the Sober Skipper Program. We also talked about the new federal kill switch law in effect. We also covered the National Boating Industry Safety Awards as well as a new program they're working on regarding flare disposal.

All exciting topics on this week's episode of the show! Anyone interested in knowing how to promote boating safety should definitely listen to this episode and find out how you can be involved!

On this week's episode, we're introducing you to a new video series from Yamaha designed to give novice boaters some basic boating tips along with an emphasis on boating safety. The series is hosted by none other than my special guest this week, Youtuber, Tyler Anderson from TylersReelFishing. 

As women interested in fishing and boating, owning and commanding your own boat can be one of the most intimidating steps to taking your outdoor endeavors to the next level. That's why manufacturers taking the step to get this information out to consumers is so important.

In this week's episode of The Woman Angler & Adventurer podcast, Sea Tow Foundation's Executive Director Gail Kulp joins us again to talk about another very important program spearheaded by the foundation. It's called the Sober Skipper Program.

I'm honored to be a part of the Sober Skipper Program National Advisory Council. At Freedom Boat Club, we take boating under the influence very seriously. In fact, your membership would be terminated if caught doing so. That's one reason we're strong supporters of the program which is centered around the idea that boaters need to designate a sober skipper before leaving the dock.

Boating is a fun activity, but it isn't an inherently safe activity. That's one of the 1st things we USCG Licensed Captains teach our new members at Freedom Boat Club. That also happens to be what the Sea Tow Foundation is all about! Boating can be safe AND fun!

Established in 2007 by Sea Tow Founder Capt. Joe Frohnhoefer, their mission is to bring attention to the number of preventable boating-related injuries, deaths, and damage to property, that directly addresses prevention methods through education and awareness.
