Dan Ladd: Don’t procrastinate, take the required safe boating course in New York

In my February column, I wrote about my experience in setting up and taking a NYS Safe Boating Course earlier this year. Since the topic is of immediate and ongoing interest – and one that’s been discussed in the past five years – we’ll continue to cover it in the weeks and months ahead.
For now, with ice-out on the way and the April 1 trout opener looming, early season anglers are getting their boats ready for the open water. So the question has to be asked: if you operate a motorized boat, have you taken the now required NYS Safe Boating Course and obtained a safe boating certificate?
