Even if you're going out solo, don't go boating alone! Tell a trusted friend or family member know where you're going and what time you expect to be back. You might know this as "filing a float plan," but you don't need anything formal. It can be as simple as texting or emailing someone with your whereabouts, what time you expect to get home, and who to call if you're not back within a reasonable window of time. 🚩Enjoy this video?

The danger of plastic pollution and its harmful effects on the planet’s wildlife and our own wellbeing – explained by kids. Every breath you take and every drop of water you drink comes from the sea. The ocean generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe, regulates the climate and is an essential source of food, energy and life. We produce nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is single-use. We have developed a “disposable” lifestyle. Estimates are that around 50% of plastic is used just once and thrown away. Annually approximately 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. More than one million bags are used every minute. A plastic bag has an average “working life” of 15 minutes. Over the last ten years, we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century. It is estimated that 8 million tons of plastic pollute the Ocean each year – that’s a truck full of plastic produced every minute. We cannot deny that something is changing. If we continue this way, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish (in weight). The good news is – it’s not too late! North Sails’ new video What About You? sends a powerful environmental message filled with a sense of personal responsibility for the destiny of our planet and future generations. It’s time to ask yourself: where do you stand? You too become part of the solution not part of the pollution.
