Your boat safety kit should be kept on board no matter the size of your boat. Below are some essential items your safety kit should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flashlight<\/strong> \u2013 A flashlight and extra batteries can help you see around your boat in the dark and allow you to be seen if you run out of fuel or if your craft stalls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duct tape<\/strong> \u2013 Temporarily bandage a leak with duct tape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bucket<\/strong> \u2013 Use a bucket to bail out water that may enter the vessel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>First aid kit <\/strong>\u2013 A properly equipped first aid kit is vital in case of an accident or medical emergency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whistle <\/strong>\u2013 A waterproof whistle is a recognized signal for help on the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ropes<\/strong> \u2013 Essential for pulling someone in who has fallen overboard, securing your craft to the dock, and tying down loose items in extreme weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mirror<\/strong> \u2013 A mirror or any reflective object can signal for help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garbage bags <\/strong>\u2013 Use them as rain ponchos and protection for items on board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fire extinguisher<\/strong> \u2013 All passengers should know the location of your fire extinguisher and how to use it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Life jackets <\/strong>\u2013 You should have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket for every person on board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a very affordable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0053Q08C6\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0053Q08C6&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=candlewoodlak-20&amp;linkId=2ff9dec28473909a14bdeb0ff672d6e7\">40 Piece Boat Safety Kit<\/a> on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Bring The Proper Life Jackets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/102y_072423135316.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/102y_072423135316.png 1000w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/102y_072423135316-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/102y_072423135316-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/102y_072423135316-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Life jackets do more than simply keep you afloat. Many are designed to turn an unconscious person face up and even help prevent hypothermia. By law, all boats must have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person on board. In Connecticut, life jackets are mandatory for all people on board between October 1st and May 31st. All children under 12 years old must always wear a life jacket. Choose a life jacket that is right for your height and weight, plus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Try it on before purchasing. Fasten the vest, hold your arms straight up over your head, and have someone gently pull the top of the arm opening to make sure it fits snugly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auto and manual inflatable life vests can turn an unconscious wearer face up, but they require regular maintenance. They\u2019re also not recommended for children under 16 years of age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re going fishing, look for a life jacket with pockets and straps to easily carry tackle and supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check The Weather Beforehand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Warm, sunny days are ideal for boating, but you can\u2019t always predict when a storm will roll in. Varying gusts of wind and choppy water are signs of an approaching storm. Even if it\u2019s a warm spring day, the water could reflect winter temperatures. In the event that your boat capsizes or you and your passengers get wet, make sure you have a plan to seek help and get dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the weather forecast for Candlewood Lake, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myweather2.com\/City-Town\/United-States-Of-America\/Connecticut\/Candlewood-Lake\/14-Day-Forecast.aspx\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Don\u2019t Overload The Boat With People Or Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px.jpg 660w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/OVERLOADED-660px-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Always follow your boat\u2019s capacity restriction. Overloading your boat with passengers or equipment can unbalance your craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Check For Harmful Fumes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/qHgcSRo40xU-HD.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/qHgcSRo40xU-HD.jpg 756w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/qHgcSRo40xU-HD-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After refueling your boat, open all the hatches and smell for fumes. If detected, don\u2019t start the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon monoxide can accumulate in and around your boat and unexpectedly knock you or your guests unconscious. Be aware of all the places fumes and gases can accumulate, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enclosed spaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blocked exhaust outlets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nearby boats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When your engine is idling, running at a slow speed, or stopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Use Common Sense On The Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The old saying &#8220;common sense is not that common&#8221; is quite fitting when you&#8217;re on the water! Rules on the water aren\u2019t much different than rules on the road. It\u2019s important to use common sense, such as staying alert at all times, operating at a safe speed, and ensuring that passengers stay safely within the boat\u2019s railings. Don&#8217;t forget to always give way to sailboats under sail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Follow Proper Anchoring Procedures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/anchor-2-aw-1024x517-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/anchor-2-aw-1024x517-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/anchor-2-aw-1024x517-1-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/candlewoodlakelife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/anchor-2-aw-1024x517-1-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000HJDBL4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000HJDBL4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=candlewoodlak-20&amp;linkId=0fa048b94451a3f22e626e4bd284e436\">right anchor<\/a> isn\u2019t enough. To keep the wind from dragging your boat, you may need to drop two anchors in a V-formation at the front of the craft to keep it from drifting. To help prevent the tide from lifting your anchor, you may need to drop it in deeper water \u2013 about 20-30 feet or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Follow Proper Docking Procedures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the wind, the current, and your type of boat, docking can be a challenge. As you approach the dock or shore, make sure your bumpers are out to prevent damage to your craft, reduce your speed, and make sure the docking lines are secured. If the wind is blowing towards the shore, bring the boat about two feet from the dock and the wind will gently pull it in. You can then secure it with lines. If the wind is blowing away from the shore, approach the dock at a 20- to 30-degree angle to compensate for the wind. Then secure the bow line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Take a Boating Safety Course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Coast Guard estimates that 70% of boating accidents are caused by operator error. Before you leave the dock, make sure you know the rules and your responsibilities. There are several online courses available, including a few free courses. In Connecticut, a boating safety course is mandatory to operate a boat on Candlewood Lake. Connecticut now offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecticutboatingcertificates.com\/\">online courses<\/a> to get your boating safety certificate and your personal watercraft endorsement. You can also find the classes offered by the CT DEEP by visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/DEEP\/Boating\/Education\/Boating-Classes\">DEEP Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Beware Of Hazards On The Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On Candlewood Lake, you will find hazards such as sand bars, rocks, swim areas, and many &#8220;no wake&#8221; zones. Be sure to pay attention and keep an eye out for the hazard buoys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, HAVE FUN! There is so much to do on Candlewood Lake.
