Buffalo, NY – Even though there are several more weeks of summer left, Labor Day weekend is often considered the "unofficial" end of the season. With this weekend's weather forecast promising nothing but sunny skies and warm temperatures, area waterways are expected to be filled with boaters.

The US Coast Guard will be out on patrols to help boaters in distress. Captain Scott Ferguson is commanding officer of the Coast Guard Sector in Buffalo. He joined us on the phone to talk about safe boating.
