 Avoiding
Collisions: Let's Not Meet By Accident by
Mark King
Without
Rules of the Road on the water there would be chaos. Rules of the
Road have been established to ensure there is a minimum risk of
collision among all vessels on the water.
They have been
developed and written for special circumstances that exist with
different types of vessels on the rivers, lakes and oceans.
...
It is imperative
that we always maintain a look-out by sight and sound while we are
boating.
And it is imperative
that we do everything we can to aviod a potential collision.
Sometimes it
will mean not demanding your right-of-way.
It adds a small
degree of stress to our time on the water but in the end it could
save the day and the season.
Lifeline
is produced through the Safe Boater Training Program, a certification
program for recreational boaters.
