Bob’s Tips For Boaters #1 – Make a Check List AND CHECK IT
Plug, keys, safety equipment, lunch, beverages, trailer connections, straps and hooks secured, fishing gear, hunting gear, camera, cell phone, radio, spare tire, etc, etc,
This should be a list of things you should check and make sure you have before you hit the road, and then maybe a second list to double check before you hit the water, nd finally a third list to check before you head home.
My list won’t be exactly the same as yours, but by making your list and checking it you will be much less likely to forget something.
