12.1 Drugs, Alcohol & Boating
More than 40 per cent of recreational boating fatalities
in Canada are alcohol related. It is illegal to operate a
boat when your ability to do so is impaired by alcohol
or drugs or while your blood alcohol concentration ex-
ceeds 0.08 per cent. “Be safe” save your celebrating until
you’ve finished enjoying a day on the water or use a
designated driver. RCMP patrol Shuswap Lake and have
the authority to charge you with impaired driving.
12.2 Life Jackets & Life Ring
• Your houseboat is equipped with as many lifejackets
as it has sleeping capacity. Children under 90 pounds
are required to have their own or a lifejacket can be
obtained at the Twin Anchors’ office prior to departure.
• Check location and sizes prior to departure.
• If you use the life jackets make sure they are dry before
returning them to their storage area. Make sure to
always return them so that they can be found easily in
the event of an emergency. Make sure all children wear
their life jackets while the houseboat is underway.
• The life ring is found at the back of your boat. If
someone should go overboard while under way, make
sure to turn the engine off, and throw the life ring for
assistance.
LIFE JACKETS AND LIFE RINGS
ARE SAFETY DEVICES.
12.3 Safe Boating Practices
• Always remember “SAFETY FIRST”... When it comes to
making boating an enjoyable experience, there’s noth-
ing like peace of mind.
• Never consume alcohol or drugs while operating the
houseboats! It is against the law and can put you and
your crew in a very dangerous situation.
• The houseboat should always be beached or docked
at least 1 hour before dusk. Check distances on the wall
map provided to give yourself enough time to get to
your destination for that day.
• Houseboat Engine must be turned off and your igni
-
tion keys are removed from the ignition before swim-
ming off the back of the boat.
• While water-skiing, make sure there is always a spotter
(2 people in the speed boat at all times). You can be
charged with criminal negligence.
• If you see this flag floating in the water, stay clear! It
means “Diver in the Water.”
• No water-skiing or using Personal Watercraft after
dusk.
