Be informed: be aware of the navigation rules, the required safety equipment, and the particularities of the body of water where you’re boating.
Plan your outing: make a navigation plan that considers others who are on the water and the specifics of the environment. Don’t just rely on Google Maps.
Respect the ecosystem: do not throw waste overboard or empty your toilet into the body of water. It seems obvious, but it’s always worth remembering.
Keep your distance: when you are sailing, be careful not to encroach on the space of other boats. Pay attention and be vigilant at all times, especially in busy areas.
Moderate your volume: avoid loud music, especially when anchoring in the evening. It’s important to maintain the peace and quiet of the area.
