Safe Boating In Pembroke Pines

You never see safe boating in movies or on television. Why not? If you’ve been boating in and around Pembroke Pines, FL for any length of time, then you know that you’re not supposed to go blasting full speed past the docks. You don’t want to kick up a wake that sends everyone else’s boats slamming into one another, leaving McCormick Insurance Inc. (or whoever your provider is) holding a massive bill and wondering whether it’s worth keeping you as a client.

But in the movies and on television, nobody ever slows down for the docks. Nobody ever keeps an eye on the buoys. Filmmakers seem to assume that open waters are just the wild wild west where no rules apply. The truth is quite the opposite. For instance, on the road, you’re not obligated to help a stranded traveler. But out on the water, you have a responsibility to do what you can to help should you come across a fellow boater in trouble.

Likewise, you can hit the road without even glancing at a weather report, but out on the water you’d better take a look and make sure that there are no storms or choppy waters coming in. Simply put: There’s a lot more to keep in mind for piloting a boat than there is for driving a car. It is true that a multiple-vehicle collision is less likely on the water than on the road, but beyond that there is quite a bit that needs to be considered before untying your watercraft.

McCormick Insurance Inc. can help to cover you when the unforeseeable happens, but nothing serves as a suitable substitute for safe boating.
