Sixty vessels were checked over the weekend on Ramsey, Wanapitei, Fairbank and Panache Lake,

Greater Sudbury Police and the Canadian Safe Boating Council teamed up for the third annual Operation Dry Water.

The initiative is to check for life jackets and safe boating practices.

Two provincial notices were issued for equipment violations and five for boaters having open alcohol.

Police say every young person they found on a vessel was wearing a life-jacket, but the majority of adults were not.
