Check the weather

ALWAYS check the weather before you depart. If it suddenly gets darker and winds are more volatile, then get yourself off the water.

Make a float plan

Make sure to let someone else know your float plan. This should include location of travel and time. Include your boat type, reg information, names of all passengers etc.

Avoid alcohol

Please be safe and avoid alcohol, which can be saved for after the trip. The percentage of boating accidents increase when alcohol is involved.
