What should you do to avoid severe weather while boating?

  1. Stay close to shore at all times

  2. Only boat during daylight hours

  3. Be alert to changing weather conditions

  4. Consult a weather service daily

The correct answer is: Be alert to changing weather conditions

While staying close to shore at all times may seem like a safe option, it limits your boating experience and may not always protect you from severe weather. Similarly, boating during daylight hours may help you navigate better, but it does not guarantee safety from unexpected storms. Consulting a weather service daily is also not a foolproof way to avoid severe weather while boating. The best option is to be constantly aware and alert of changing weather conditions, as this allows you to make informed decisions and take necessary precautions to stay safe while out on the water.
