Weather change to make for fun on the water

An improving forecast bodes well for those of us who’ll spend part of the Memorial Day weekend on the water.  Marine officers urge all lake users to be careful and slow down if you are operating a boat.  Lake Hartwell saw a boating fatality this week, a 17-year old.  Georgia officer Craig Fulghum reminds Lake Hartwell users that his state has a zero-tolerance for impaired boating and if caught, you will go to jail.  He recommends that just as you designate a driver when drinking on land, you have a “designated” skipper” if you plan to have alcohol on your boat.
