‘Always have a good time:' Law enforcement on high alert Friday for Clay County's ‘Boater Skip Day'
Boater Skip Day in Clay County means hundreds hitting the open water to celebrate the unofficial kick-off of summer, all while taking a bit of unapproved time off work. 'A lot of the people that are going either take off work or take off school for this. So I think it's pretty fun to see everybody just come out and party together and everything,' Becca Staefe told Action News Jax before hitting the water on Friday. 'We always have a good time, there's no issues or anything. So it's kind of cool to see a bunch of different communities getting together.' However, the heightened crowds out on the water also mean more dangers to be aware of.

'It's not a Clay County Sheriff's Office-sanctioned event or anything, but we're out there for the health and safety and the security of everybody out there, so we make sure that they have a good time out there.'
