Remember Boating Safety!

Now that I’ve figured out how to share photos.

We had a boat fire here at the Worlds Fair Marina, last week, link below.

What was astonishing was how quickly it ignited and spread.
I was talking to my wife a few minutes earlier (5) on the fantail and there was nothing. Went in and came out and I was like holy ****. Grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran over. Some of the guys pushed the boat off the pier. Being so close to LaGuardia Airport (lights in the background) , FDNY pumpers boats were there very quickly pumping water.

Practice your fire safety!!!! Wife and I will be practicing pushing ourselves out of the birthing hatch, god forbid we’re ever trapped. Also finding and grabbing fire extinguisher in a panic. When I grabbed mine to run over... I knew where it was but couldn’t get it off the holder, so I just ripped it out of the holder.

Just something to have plans for!!

Have fun...stay safe!
