The boat is loaded, kids and pets onboard and you’re pushing off the dock for a week of exploring the islands. Other than those aboard, does anyone else know where you are going? Don’t forget to file a float plan and leave with a friend or the Marina Office. A float plan lets your family and friends know your whereabouts and, should a trip come to grief, the plan will give the searchers a valuable head start locating your boat. Whether you are on the water for an afternoon or a month-long excursion, a float plan can be a lifesaver. Find the Float Plan Form and more information at Boat US
