The United States Power Squadrons will present “Hurricane Preparation for Boaters,” part of the USPS University seminar series, at 1 p.m. on Feb. 10 at West Marine in Riverhead. Attendees will learn hurricane preparation and survival techniques for their boats.
According to the press release issued by the USPS, when hurricane season arrives, boaters must be prepared. Most boaters don’t fully understand their insurance coverage, marina contracts, or proper preparation. When traveling, boaters can take advantage of hurricane holes, special anchoring techniques, or weather services to avoid storms completely. With greater than normal storm activity in recent years, boaters should be ready. While we have all seen boats destroyed by hurricanes on the news, what they don’t show is all the boats that survived because the owners were properly prepared. Learn how to improve your boat’s chances of survival.
There is a $35 fee, which includes the Hurricane Preparation for Boaters booklet that contains the presentation information as a reference to keep on board.
