Summer Adventures With The Family

By MSW -

We are ready for longer days now that it is almost this summer! Life is too short NOT to go out and make some memories with your friends and family! The best boat lift remote controls company is here to give you a few EXCITING ideas for fun with the family out on the lake this summer, in this week's blog! If you want to make the MOST out of your time on the lake, get out on the water FASTER with a boat lift remote you can count on! Call Firstmate Controls at 866-570-9707 and ask about our NEW units!



TAKE THE KIDS FISHING FOR THE FIRST TIME!

What better way to relax than waiting for the fish to bite? You can fish right off land or cruise around in a boat or kayak to find the best fishing holes. The fish tend to bite in the mornings and evenings, so fishing is a perfect way to start or end your day on the water! It is also a fun activity for kids. They will have fun playing with the bait and seeing the fish, and their first catch will be a great photo memory!



TRY WATERSPORTS!

Waterskiing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, or wake surfing can be very fun and will keep you and your kids entertained for hours while making memories. While they do require some level of skill, they are all fairly easy to catch onto if you are relatively coordinated and in good health to do so. If you already know how to water ski or wakeboard, teaching your kids is a fun way to bond and have something in common. If you don't know how, you can try and learn with them. This will definitely result in some laughs, but either way, your kids will think you are the coolest parent ever. 

**Make sure to wear your life jackets!**



GO TUBING!

For those who love the thrill of life, watersports like tubing may be right up your alley. Pretty much anyone can enjoy this activity, from little kids to teenagers and adults. It all depends on the boat driver and how extreme he or she makes the ride. Just make sure to communicate with the tuber beforehand to determine if they want to take it easy or go for a full adrenaline rush!

DISCOVER A COVE ON THE LAKE!

Take the boat out on the water and explore all your lake or river has to offer.  Whether you prefer a slow, romantic cruise or a fast-paced joy ride, either one is a fantastic way to spend the day.  One of our favorite activities is to find a cove or inlet and anchor for a little afternoon adventure. A great addition to every adventure is to pack a picnic and a cooler to link up with your friends for an impromptu boat party!

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.

Knowing how your boat works, the function of each part of the vessel, how to address issues when they arise, and a basic understanding of boating safety  is knowledge every boat owner should have.  Being able to properly communicate with those on your boat in case of an emergency situation is crucial to the safety of everyone on board.
