Park Commission Warns
Boats Should Be Checked
Warm weather is just around
the corner and so is the season
for getting out on the water.
Since it will be a great
temptation for boat owners to
rush off at the first hint of
spring a little preparation is
in order according to Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department
officials.
For one thing your boat
should be registered if it is
powered by anything but a pad
dle oaf pole or sail. Even a
canoe with an electric trolling
motor and a sailboat with an
auxiliary engine must be
registered with the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department.
Safety equipment is another
consideration. Chances are the
boat's running lights need some
attention. And you'll need more
life jackets this year since all
children 12 years old or under
must be wearing a Coast Guard
approved vest-type preserver
while the boat is underway.
Some types of fire ex-
tinguishers
replaced.
And don't forget your engine.
A good tune-up at home may
save the misery of a stalled-out
engine on the lake.
Some of the older wooden
boats should be recaulked and
repainted.
Since a burned wheel bearing
on your trailer could delay your
trip to the water a little preven
tive maintenance in this area
can save you a lot of misery.
And don't forget to check the
brake lights and running lights
and make sure that rust hasn't
affected the structural integrity
of your trailer.
While you're huddled next to
the fire during these last cold
days of winter brush up on
your "rules of the road" for
boating. Go over in your mind
what you'd do in case of an
emergency. Part of enjoying any
sport is knowing how to do
things safely according to
department officials.
Household Items Can
Save Camping Trips
A few common household
items can mean the difference
between success and failure on
a camping trip according to
as a an W if
Department officials.
Aluminum foil for example
can make the camper's life
easier. A large piece can be
transported in the hip pocket
and it can be as versatile as
the user's imagination.
Campers have found that by
wrapping a piece of dry ice
in foil and placing it in the
bottom of their ice box they
can increase the life expectancy
of their regular ice.
A piece of foil wrapped around
one side of a lantern will almost
double the intensity of the light.
Silver spoons or anything
chrome can be polished with
a wad of foil. The foil on a
bait bucket or canteen will
reflect the sun's heat and keep
the water cooler.
Petroleum jelly is almost as
versatile as foil. It can be used
on chapped lips or it can be
used on reels gun parts pocket
knives and axes to prevent rust.
If burrs on a dog's coat are
smeared with the jelly they can
be removed easily. And the jelly
is go or a
waterproofing boots and shoes
as well as those last few feet
of fly line.
Here are a few more tips
which will make life easier on
a camping trip:
Freeze water in muffin pans.
The ice will last longer in your
ice box because the chunks are
larger than the ones you buy.
If you puncture your oil pan
on a sharp rock patch it tem
porarily with candle wax. This
will at least get you to town.
