Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of boating season, but as experienced New England boaters know, a beautiful day on the water can change quickly.

One minute you can see the shoreline. The next, fog rolls in and everything starts to look the same.

Sea fog forms when warm, humid air moves over colder water. That setup is common in New England, especially in spring and early summer when the air starts to warm but the ocean is still cold.

This year, the ocean signals have been especially complicated. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reported colder-than-normal bottom water in parts of the Northeast, and researchers have documented cold-water anomalies and shifting current influences in the Gulf of Maine.

Why does that matter? Because fog can arrive fast. A clear, comfortable day can turn into a dangerous low-visibility situation in minutes, especially around harbors, bays, inlets, and open water.

Before you board a boat:

🦺 Make sure everyone has a properly fitted life jacket, and wear it before conditions become stressful.

🌊 Check the NWS marine forecast before leaving, not just your regular weather app.

🚨 In reduced visibility, turn on navigation lights, use sound signals when appropriate, slow down, and avoid sudden course changes.

📍 Keep a dedicated lookout onboard, and share your float plan with someone on shore before you leave.

🧭 Use more than one navigation tool: GPS, charts, compass, and local knowledge all matter. Carry a VHF radio and know how to call for help.

🗺️ Do not rely only on your phone. Know your route, your landmarks, and your way back before you leave the dock.

👀 Keep the operator clear-headed, and make sure passengers are alert enough to help if conditions change. On the water, especially in fog, everyone may need to listen, look out, or assist quickly. Alcohol and boating do not mix with sudden weather or low visibility.

Fog can change the plan, but it does not have to ruin the day. Prepare before you leave the dock, keep your crew alert, and enjoy the start of boating season safely.

🚗⚠️ Street racing and aggressive driving behaviors are becoming a growing concern across the Northeast, according to a new AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study shared by AAA Northeast.

The study found that nearly 75% of drivers have witnessed some form of street racing behavior in the past year, from aggressive weaving through traffic to drag racing and street takeovers.

In the Northeast alone, 65% of drivers reported seeing racers weave through traffic, and nearly half said they’re concerned about street racing on public roads.

A few reminders to help stay safe on the road:
✔️ Keep a safe following distance
✔️ Avoid engaging with aggressive drivers
✔️ Stay alert at intersections and highway merges
✔️ Report dangerous activity when it’s safe to do so

Remember: the best defense against aggressive driving is staying calm, aware, and prepared!

Today is Day, part of National Consumer Protection Week hosted by the Federal Trade Commission.

Scammers often impersonate trusted organizations such as the Social Security Administration, the IRS, or even insurance companies. Their goal is to create urgency so you share personal information or send money before you have time to think.

Common red flags include:
🚩 Someone claiming to be from a government agency
🚩 Threats or urgent demands for payment
🚩 Requests for payment using gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency
🚩 Pressure to act immediately without time to verify the request

Fraud and identity theft continue to rise, and awareness is one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and your finances. Taking a moment to slow down and confirm who you are dealing with can prevent a costly mistake. When something does not feel right, pause and verify before responding.

We’re sharing this helpful segment from NBC10 Boston explaining what Slam the Scam Day is and how to stay protected: https://www.nbcboston.com/video/investigations/consumer/today-is-slam-the-scam-day-what-does-that-mean/3910877

Last year Americans lost nearly $740 million to social security and government imposter scams, according to the FTC. The government created an initiative called “Slam the scam day,” which is today. NBC10 Boston consumer investigative reporter Bianca Beltran explains the call to action.
