 I see our Chief Miller here from Coast Guard Station right to a beach. I got my good buddy Sharky from the Wilmington Sharks baseball team with me today, and we're going to talk to you about some boating safety practices. What do you think, Sharky? Can we teach these people some thing or two today? Let's do it. All right, so the first of our safe boating practices is going to be talking about life jackets. A few things can be more important on the water. You see Sharky's wearing a life jacket right now, but if you notice, see how much it moves up, push them in the mouth? This is way too big. Sharky, if he falls into the water, he's going to slide right out of that thing and be lost to the world, and that would be a tragedy. So what we want to do is we want to get one that's snug, but still comfortable. Now you can see with this one, Sharky's still able to move around. He's comfortable, and he's not going to slide out of it when he falls in the water. Sizing of life jackets is very important, especially when you start talking about kids. If you put a small child in this life jacket, it's not going to do any good. You got to make sure you get one that's the right size for that child's weight and height. There are other life jackets we can use as well. This one here is intended primarily for kayaking, but it can work on a boat as well. You see the small straps on top make it very comfortable for moving a paddle, cast a fishing pole, or whatever you might be doing. This is one of my favorites. This is an inflatable type life jacket. Very small, takes up very little room, doesn't inflate until you go in the water. This one's activated by the water itself, so it automatically inflates. Great for on a boat, not so great if you're on a stand up paddle board or a personal watercraft where you're getting wet all the time. They do make these that are manually inflatable that only activate when you pull on that little tab. Those are really great for stand up paddle boards because you only inflate it when you know you need it. Another really important piece of equipment in the same realm as the life jackets is the throwable type personal flotation device. Commonly known as a boat cushion. Sharky can take that, and if someone on his boat falls in the water, he can toss it to him almost like a frisbee and they'll be able to grab onto that and have flotation until the boat can get back and pick him up. That was a perfect throw, Sharky. Look at that.
