  As the summer boating season swings into high gear with the Fourth of July holiday, FWP urges all boaters to follow three basic rules on the water:

• designate a skipper who won’t drink alcoholic beverages while on duty.
• have approved lifejackets on board and readily accessible for every passenger, and require children under 12 years of age to wear their lifejackets when on board, it is the law, and
• do not exceed a boat’s safe carrying capacity.
