Lake Murray Members Appear
in Third America's Boating Channel Video:
“Defensive Boating”
 The
United States Coast Guard has just approved “Defensive Boating” for public
release as a follow-on to the America's Boating Channel promotional campaign for
“LIFE JACKET WEAR.” You can access and share the streaming
version of the video at
“Defensive Boating.” The video
will publicly
premiere at 9 a.m. Saturday 30 July on AmericasBoatingChannel.com, America's
Boating Channel on YouTube, and across online social media.
This is the third America's Boating Channel
video to feature members of America's Boating Club of Lake Murray. The first
video,
“Trailering
A Boat,”
exclusively featured our members and was released in conjunction with National
Safe Boating Week 21-27 May 2022. Our members then appeared with members of
another District 26 club, Tybee Light, in
“Electronic
Visual Distress Signals.”
“Defensive Boating”
covers the importance of keeping a safe distance from other boaters. Viewers
will learn how experienced boaters can change their habits for a safer boating
experience with so many new boaters on the water. Also featured are special tips
for those who are new to boating. In addition to Lake Murray members, it
features members of the Chattanooga Sail & Power Squadron and Tybee Light Sail &
Power Squadron.
America’s
Boating Channel videos
are enjoying higher viewership levels as Americans have increasingly turned to
boating as a recreational outlet during the coronavirus pandemic. Screening
boater education videos is an excellent way for boaters to prepare for safer
experiences on the water.
America’s Boating Channel’s sixth
season of videos, which will premiere throughout the 2022 boating season,
includes “Fire
Extinguisher Regulations,” “Trailering A Boat,” “Defensive
Boating,” “Electronic Charts and Virtual ATONS,” Commercial Traffic,” “Life
Jacket Wear,” “Boat Operator Responsibilities,” "Navigating Inlets," “Electronic
Visual Distress Signals,” and “Capacity
Compliance.”
America's Boating Channel is
also accepting input for its new “Inlet
Drone Videos” offering, which will feature narrated aerial video
coverage of high-traffic US waterway entrances. The video service recently
completed filming at Cape Fear, North Carolina, the first inlet to be covered in
its new series. To learn more, email INFO@AmericasBoatingChannel.com.
