What’s the best advice for staying safe on the water? 🤔

A safe day on the water starts before you ever leave shore.

Wear a life jacket, check the weather, know your surroundings and come prepared. Hannah Cate explains.

You can be standing in shallow water and suddenly find yourself in over your head.

Windy Point on Lake Travis is one example, but sudden drop-offs and changing lake bottoms can be found throughout the Highland Lakes. Don’t assume you know what’s below the surface.

Wear a life jacket. Watch out for hidden hazards. Look out for your crew.
