Canadian Boating Exam Practice Quiz

The first priority when preparing for a storm while boating is to ensure all passengers are wearing properly secured PFDs. While reducing speed and securing loose items in the boat are also important safety measures, they should not take precedence over ensuring the safety of all individuals aboard. Closing hatches and ports may also be necessary, but it is not the first priority as it does not directly impact the safety of passengers. Therefore, option B is the most important and correct choice.
