Distressing Situation Flares Up Again!
This all started innocently enough when a friend of mine purchased a (new to him) brokerage boat. The previous owner left a lot of equipment on board including a locker full of expired distress flares. My friend called to ask what to do. Well, flares are highly regulated; you can’t set them off, you can’t throw them in the garbage and you have to replace them with new flares that are within their expiry date or you risk substantial fines.

Your Onboard Emergency Toolkit – “You had better take it with you…”
I’m superstitious – I admit it. But I have reasons to feel that way. When the lawn is burned out and the gardens are wilting, just wash the car. It’s sure to rain after that. The reverse is true. On a beautiful summer’s day, be always pack a raincoat and an umbrella just in case. It’s certain to stay sunny and clear. Operating on the same idea, Canadian Boating magazine has developed our Onboard Emergency Toolkit.
