Here at Lake Minnetonka Liberty we strongly advocate safe boating skills, particularly on this lake as on weekends, especially long holiday weekends like this coming Memorial Day weekend, the lake can be become very crowded. And let me tell you from experience, a lot of those people have no business being out on the water.
I suppose this fact needs to be mentioned regarding alcohol consumption. If you’re out enjoying the sunshine and warm weather, that of course will dehydrate you and make you thirsty. Alcohol also dehydrates, so if you’re drinking, the alcohol will affect you much sooner, even if you think you don’t feel it, a breathalyzer will say different. Be responsible and use common sense.
We have a series of 8 short safe boating video’s that have posted on our sister site (Westonka Informer) produced by the Wisconsin DNR and I strongly urge all boaters to take a few minutes and watch them, whether you’re a novice or experienced, it’s always a good idea to brush up or learn for the first time.
