“Texas is different from many
other states in that we have a year-
round boating season. We also have
more inland water than any of the
48 continental states. We have a
coastline and all the activity there
as well. We also have one of the
highest number of registered boats
in the nation. We just have a lot of
activity. With all this in mind, we
feel like overall, boating is a safe
activity in Texas, but boaters
should leant and follow basic
safety tips,” said Willie Gonzalez,
assistant chief of marine enforce-
ment at TPWD.
There are about 623,000 boats
registered in Texas.

rangement. Jacob retards the
tempo and passes the melody be-
tween the flute and oboe before
returning to the initial tempo
