Safety
Lake Sakakawea is a large reservoir and mother nature can make conditions unsafe quickly. Therefore, we have the following safety standards:
LIFE JACKETS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES! I have the new auto-inflate life jackets that are small, light, and comfortable. You often forget you are you are wearing them at the end of the day. As Per NDGF & US Coast Guard Regulations this type of life jacket must be worn to count as a legal flotation device.
Any lightening in the area will result in the boat going to shore, and waiting for the storm to pass.
Sustained winds of 30+ mph will result in ending the trip early.
Sustained winds of 20-30mph will require life jackets to be worn at all times
Forecasts predicting winds of 25+ mph (night before the trip) will result in cancellation of the day. (Deposit Refunded, No Charge)
I reserve the right to end the trip at anytime due to unsafe conditions.
