EYC Miscellany
EYC racers and spectators were reminded yesterday that accidents can happen at any time, even during good weather and even during activities thought to be safe. Paramedics used the EYC pier to evacuate a young girl (not an EYC member, as far as we know) who suffered a severe injury in a motorboating – tubing accident.
Almost all accidents on the water can be prevented by using common sense, being careful, and wearing a PFD. Think safety first!
