Terrapin Children, adults, dogs and cats are all potential "Man Overboard" (MOB) accident victims. A Terrapin Safety Turtle Base Station alerts others onboard by sounding an alarm the instant a Turtle sensor is immersed. Available in five bright colors, each Turtle is permanently sealed and ruggedly built to withstand wear and tear. It is secured to a child by a locking wristband, or to a lifejacket by a Velcro strap. The Base Station operates on AC, using an AC adaptor or 12 VDC, using optional cigarette lighter cable. The system comes in a waterproof carrying bag. Acces- sories include a custom battery pack which can power the Base Station up to nine hours. Howie Cyr, president of the Shuswap Houseboating Association, says: "We're certainly encouraging parents to utilize it when they're here." To purchase the Terrapin Safety Turtle System, visit www.safetyturtle.com or call 800-368-8121.
