Boaties Urged to Help Themselves
“Coastguard officials and police are urging boaties to invest in a cheap form of insurance, a plastic bag, which may save their boat and their lives.
……………. Coastguard duty officer Mark Leevers said boaties should never go on the water without two forms of communications, including a very high frequency (VHF) radio and a cellphone as a back up.
Mr Leevers said putting a cellphone in a plastic bag with a resealable top, could be a livesaver."
OMG, are some people who go out on boats so thick that things like this actually have to be spelt out in the media?
