Have a safe and Happy Independence Day from all of us at Detachment Sheboygan! Remember to drive sober and don’t forget your PFD!!!

Remember to boat responsibly and say no to alcohol if you’re driving on the road or on the water.

Did you know that alcohol consumption is the leading cause of boating fatalities?

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is a criminal offense, and you can be arrested for operating a vessel with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. In some states, a BUI arrest may also result in the suspension of your motor vehicle driver's license. To avoid becoming a tragic statistic this boating season, ensure you have a designated sober vessel operator.

The boating season is upon us & the official start of summer is mere weeks away. Think your boat is ready?
A great way to find out is with a Vessel Safety Check done by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
A free VSC helps make sure your boat is ship-shape with all Federal and State requirements. If it's not, you'll get a detailed report on how to fix it.
