Subj : NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK
1 . Since 1958 , the President has proclaimed the week prior to Memorial Day weekend as National Safe Boating Week ( NSBW ). Boating remains a highly popular , relatively safe , and memory-creating form of outdoor recreation . Preventing loss of life and damage is nonetheless a goal we all share , and we ask you to take precautions and encourage others to do so to make boating as safe as possible . The Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety ( CG-BSX ) and the CG Auxiliary work extensively with the States and the recreational boating safety community on efforts to encourage model boating behavior . This year NSBW is from Saturday , May 20 , 2023 , through Friday May 26 , 2023 .
