One Demo Life Raft 
One Lucky Volunteer
One inflatable PFD
One knowledgeable instructor
Learn to fire the raft
Saturday afternoon we made a trip to Lakewood Yacht Club to do a life raft demonstration for safety day. They are preparing racers for the up coming Harvest Moon Regatta to happen October 1st through the 3rd. Mike has done a demo for them for many years and we always love to take the opportunity to educate people on the proper use of safety equipment. Mike takes time to explain how the life raft deploys and how to use all the equipment inside. We certainly hope no one ever needs to use their life raft but if they do we feel better knowing that they will know how. These demonstrations also give us a chance to see new and old faces and perhaps meet potential customers or earn a repeat customer. In a day and age where everything can be bought from the Internet and a call center somewhere unknown to you answers all your questions it feels good to just see a face sometimes. I am a firm believer that knowledge is best gained through talking to someone knowledgeable!
We wish each race a fun and safe race! May the wind fill your sails!
