Coast Guard commandant calls for safer boating
The head of the Cayman Islands Coast Guard is calling for boaters to take better care in the water and says he would welcome moves to have penalties for people who are caught driving while under the influence.
Coast Guard Commandant Robert Scotland said that since 2020 there had been a steady rise in the number of people purchasing watercraft, such as boats or jet skis, and as a result, the number of people in distress on the water had increased.
“I would say it’s a case where people aren’t taking the time to ensure that their vessels are seaworthy,” he said. “Something as simple as not checking your fuel level before you go out can result in you ending up having to call for assistance.”
