I live in CT. I recently bought an inflatable raft and want desperately to take it out anywhere. I have been worried about the river though, where there are power boats specifically. Do I have to follow the same regulations as them? Do inflatables even have regulations? We are also planning for an island in the ocean, yes row out there. So is there anything I should know to do or avoid. Also do I need vests or is it just for minors?

Do We Have To Be Seated In Seats While Boating Or Can We Sit On The Floor?
Monday, June 29th, 2009I am looking at buying a used boat. It has two seats in it. but is big enough for more. I have two adults and two children that will go out in it. One seat is at the steering wheel, the other is attached behind it, like a back-to-back seat. there was another seat, but it is missing. I just dont know if they are necessary or not. Also does anyone know if boats need to be insured, like a car? We live in Ohio. And will probably be boating on lake erie.
Is It Safe To Go Boating While Pregnant?
Sunday, June 28th, 2009We are not planning on tubing, skiing, anything crazy like that (i obviously know that is off limits). But I’m 29 weeks, live near a lake, own a boat, and am dying to get out on the water. I am not nervous about getting nauseous, or anything like that. I just wanna make sure that the motion of the waves rocking the boat are safe for the baby. We just wanna go out, relax and maybe take a swim, thats it. Please no smarta$$ answers.
