Common Myths:

 

#1. Membership is expensive and exclusive - Membership cost is $15.00 for individuals and $25.00 for organizations and open to anyone who is interested in promoting safe boating.

 

#2. My involvement isn't much help - HSBC believes that everyone can make a difference, all that is needed is a willing attitude.

 

#3. WADE is the primary focus of the HSBC - While the HSBC takes great pride in the WADE program it is not the only focus.  The promotion of safe boating is the primary objective of the HSBC
