As the whitewater rafting season gets near, we take a good look at our inventory of life jackets. Each jacket is a US Coast Guard approved jacket with a Class III/V rating. They must be in good condition and there are never any holes or tears in our life jackets.
The Oregon State Marine Board also requires an additional safety feature to the life jacket and that is a whistle. The universal distress code, also known as SOS, is three long blows on the whistle. It is Oregon law that every boater has access to a whistle or other sound device. We opted for the whistle.
You can be certain that safety is our number one priority and our 2010 season is good to go with gear!
