National Safe Boating Week, 2013
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Every year, the United States Coast Guard joins partners nationwide to
raise awareness about boating responsibly. We highlight that important work
during National Safe Boating Week, and we encourage all boaters to take
appropriate precautions before casting off this season.
Safe boating starts onshore. Americans planning to spend a day on the
water should prepare by filing a float plan with family or a friend, getting
a free vessel safety check, and participating in a boating safety course.
As they embark, boaters should make sure they have checked the marine
forecast and all passengers are wearing a life jacket. And to put an end
to preventable accidents that claim too many lives every year, individuals
should never operate a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Boating is an important part of our national heritage. This week, let us
carry that tradition forward by following commonsense safety procedures
and keeping our lakes, rivers, and oceans safe for all to enjoy.
In recognition of the importance of safe boating practices, the Congress,
by joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (36 U.S.C. 131), as amended,
has authorized and requested the President to proclaim annually the 7day period prior to Memorial Day weekend as ‘‘National Safe Boating Week.’’

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States
of America, do hereby proclaim May 18 through May 24, 2013, as National
Safe Boating Week. I encourage all Americans who participate in boating
activities to observe this occasion by learning more about safe boating practices and taking advantage of boating education.
