when you’ve reached the day’s
destination you'll enjoy all the
amenities of gracious living in
a setting that seems a world
away from the hustle and bus-
tle of today’s fast-paced life.
Forget about dull motel
rooms, overpriced restaurants,
and the garish ‘lights and
noises of crowded resorts.
With a mini you can camp
on the ocean shore and let the
soothing rhythm of waves
breaking on the beach lull
you to sleep.-Or waken to the
sight of majestic mountains
outside your bedroom win-

It’s a fact. Most recreational
boating accidents occur be-
tween 2 and 4 PM on Sunday.
(And that doesn’t mean you're
safe if you launch at 4:30
PM!) Most drownings result
from alcohol consumption
and most boating accidents
are caused by improper look-
out and overloading.
Did you know that one
ounce of alcohol reduces op-
erator reaction time 25% and
in combination with Te
noise and vibration, operator
response is reduced another

ing line should be thrown to
the victim. (It may take two or
three tries before the “throw-

victim.)
To perform this procedure
at night you would also need a
powerful spotlight on board
to help you locate the victim
in the water and ascertain his
or her condition.
The Q-Beam light manu-
factured in the U.S. by The
Brinkman Corporation has
several models with light out-
put equivalent of five to eight
times more powerful than
your car headlights on high
beam. And either the 200,000
or 300,000 candlepower mod-
els can be used to spot water

markers and provide valuable
assistance in any emergency
after sunset.
These lights are powered

The Coast Guard requires
every craft under 16’ to main-
tain onboard personal flota-
tion devices (PFDs) type 1, 2,
3, or 4 (one for every person
onboard): a working fire ex-
tinguisher, navigation lights,
sound producing device (fog-
“horn or whistle) and visual
I distress signal visible at night.
If your craft is over 16’ in
length, you also need a visual
distress signal for use during
day and night.
Having these safety devices
onboard and in working con-
dition contributes to both the
protection of life and property
while boating.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary
offers a 12-week certificated
course in marine safety. Con-
tact the local or district office

Not many people would
venture forth on vacation
without having the car or
motorhome checked and
tuned up. But too few drivers
bother to check or tune up
their own driving habits.
You get your car’s fluid lev-
els checked, all 11 of them.
But too many drivers are
unaware that one can of beer
equals one ounce of 86 proof
influence of alcohol.
You get your car's wind-
shields and lights cleaned so
you can see —and be seen.
But too many drivers wear
glasses that are smeared and
streaked, restricting their
You get your car’s head-

But too many drivers fail to
use lights properly: to signal
stops, to signal turns and to
let others see you at night or in
dim conditions.
You have your car’s tires
checked for proper inflation
specifications. But too many
drivers will take to the road
with a bad headache or a
slight upset stomach.
Just as you review your
itinerary before you set out on
a trip, you should review your
personal driving habits. A car
in absolutely perfect mechan-
ical condition is only as safe as
the person driving it.
Remember that motor-
cycles and bicycles have as
much right to the road as the
automobile. Give them the
respect you would give a
truck-trailer rig. A cyclist is
entitled to a full traffic lane;
don’t try to share the lane with
him or crowd him off the
road.
In city traffic, you will pos-
sibly see bicycles being ridden
against traffic—contrary to
the rules which say bicycles
your emotions under control
and proceed with caution. An
angry driver is unsafe at any
speed.
In residential areas and
camp sites, you must keep all
your senses alert for children,
small animals, bouncing balls,
and even unthinking adults
who may calmly stroll into
roadways.
When driving, be sure to
keep a “safety cushion” be-
tween your car and the one
ahead. At 55 MPH, it takes
more than 200 feet to react to
a problem and brake to a stop.
Follow the two-second rule.
When the vehicle ahead of
you passes a stationary object
(a post or a bridge), count to
yourself, “one thousand and
one, one thousand and two.”
If you reach the object before
you finish the count, you're
following too close to the ve-
hicle ahead.
If you're being tailgated,
slow down and encourage the
car behind to pass you.
If a car intrudes between
you and the car ahead, drop
back to give yourself two
seconds behind the new car. If
the weather is bad, give your-
self more time.
Remember, a vacation or
long weekend should be fun.
Proper car maintenance
combined with proper driver
behavior will get you where
you're going in a happy mood.
