Each year about three out of four recreational boat owners say they plan to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday aboard the family boat.  1. Before you head out,  give a short orientation  to guests, not only about essential items, such as how to move about a moving vessel (with one hand always connected to the boat) or how use the head, but also show them how easy it is to use the VHF radio and safety gear, especially life jackets. 2.
