Three different boat accidents were reported near Baltimore, Maryland on April 5, 2010. On the whole 3 adults and 6 children were rescued from different areas while they were out boating. As the weather is clearing up, more and more people are venturing out into the waters.

One thing that all boaters must keep in mind is boating safe. One should be well prepared so that distress calls are not made and no one gets harmed while enjoying the water. Two ways to increase the likelihood that you and your passengers will come to harm is by not wearing life jackets and drinking alcohol while boating.  These factors have been associated with hundreds of accidents. All boaters should take a boating safety education course so that they are aware and prepared for all contingencies.
