Headed out on the water this weekend? Be sure to develop a Float Plan and leave it with someone on shore! Include important information for a friend or family member to call authorities if they don’t hear back from you in a designated time.
BoatSafe.com suggests the following details to comprise a detailed Float Plan:
-Name, address, & phone number of trip leader and passengers
-Boat type and registration
-Trip itinerary
-Type of communication and signal equipment on board
Upon arrival, check in with your designed shore person!
