Our lives were all enriched by knowing and working with Captain Chris Day. Whether you learned boat handling skills as a student, were certified by him as a NSBC instructor, did a co-teach with him to become a NSBC instructor trainer, were in the audience listening to him as a conference speaker - Chris was an educator and trainer of the highest level. As our NSBC Silver Schooner Award recipient in 2023, Chris was celebrated for certifying dozens of instructors and educating hundreds of boaters for the NSBC. Chris was called upon many times in search and rescue operations and opened his heart to many families who lost a loved one in a boating, or open water tragedy. Chris was a friend to all, and his family is our family. He persevered and fought a prolonged illness. We are all grieving the loss of our dear friend, but we are so grateful for the lives and hearts that he touched. Please pray for his wife Brianna, his mother Pamela, and his kiddos. We will always love you Chris. Chris Day, CRBP BoatUS BoatUS Foundation

Today, we celebrate Kitty’s life. ❤️ Kitty continues to share her story to prevent propeller injuries from happening to others. 67 years ago, Kitty fell off a boat driven by a young, reckless driver. His instinctive, but incorrect, reaction of turning the boat away from her brought the propeller to Kitty’s head, slashing her skull. A metal plate was placed in her head, allowing Kitty to have an active life… a fortunate outcome. But her parents suffered greatly, worrying about Kitty. They died young. Physically, Kitty recovered, but not one day goes by without thought of the day she was almost killed by a propeller strike, a tragedy that continues to this day. Always use your engine cut-off switch for Kitty. #safeboating #wavesofhope #offerhope #createchange #onewaveatatime
