We all know what kind of devastation a hurricane can cause. Hopefully, none of us will have to experience it firsthand, but if you live in a certain part of the country, you'll probably be faced with the possibility someday. And as boat owners, it's an especially good idea to know what to do to protect your boat from the ravages of nature. To that end, BoatUS offers a Hurricane Preparation course directly from their website that you can access from your computer, smartphone, or tablet. The course costs $24.95.
"The BoatUS Marine Insurance damage avoidance program has shown there are measures that boaters can take to reduce hurricane boat damage and improve their chances with surviving a storm," said BoatUS Foundation Director of Education Amanda Suttles Pérez. "The most important thing for boaters to remember is that early planning is key and if you wait until a storm has formed or a watch or warning has been issued, it’s often too late to put some plans into place. This course is just the latest from us to help boaters get ahead of this timely task."
