Boating Safety Tips for KLAQ Great Raft Race

Buzz Adams — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:09:15 +0000

We are exactly one month away from the KLAQ Great River Raft Race and I thought this would be a good time to share some of my maritime expertise with those of you planning to build your own raft and navigate it down the Rio Grande.

Along with each of these tips, which are from the National Safe Boating Council, I've included photos that I took this past weekend of the majestic waterway that we know as the mighty, rushing Rio Grande....
1.) Wear a Flotation Device

No matter how strong a swimmer you think you are, a personal flotation device is always a must. As you can see in the picture above, the Rio Grande may look placid on it's surface, but underneath it is full of treacherous eddies and swirling currents that make navigating it a challenge for even the most seasoned of sailors.

They'll still be here Sunday for Balloonfest, but our interview this morning took a different direction in light of the recent weather in OKC.
