Saturday, May 22, 2010 - 11:00 am to 4:00 pm | Cost: FREE*

“Wear it!” is the campaign theme for the upcoming National Safe Boating Week May 22-28. Life jackets save lives. And with boating season now underway, California waterways will be even more crowded. Treasure Island Sailing Center wants to make sure families have an enjoyable and safe experience on the water.

In observance of this national campaign, TISC is hosting a local event on Treasure Island on the San Francisco Bay, Saturday, May 22, to help educate the public about simple practices for water safety this season.

Local organizations will be on hand to provide proper life jacket fit, vessel safety checks, and safe boating information. Watch a Coast Guard rescue demonstration and get information on TISC sailing classes. Attendance is free with an optional $5 barbecue. There will be music and free boat rides. But get to the event early – the first 100 visitors receive a free life jacket.  Participation organizations include: Coast Guard Auxiliary, SFPD Marine Unit, SFFD, American Red Cross, and US Power Squadron.
