Hurricane Preparation for Boaters

How to choose a suitable boat for the type of cruising you do. Owning versus chartering. Equipping the boat with appropriate navigation, electrical, and plumbing systems, and more.

Learn the special skills needed for river and lake boating. How to “read” a river, cope with river currents, go through locks. Plus the navigation rules unique to river boating.

Handling a boat in a variety of situations…getting on plane, trimming the boat, dealing with rough water, understanding what you can control versus what nature throws at you.

The dock is near but have no fear! Leave the anxiety on shore and learn to handle your boat slowly, safely, and confidently in tight quarters. Then practice, practice, practice!

It’s not really a jungle out there. Avoid confusion, chaos, and collisions. Understand the rules that govern how boats should behave on the water. Know your responsibilities.
