any reserve that might be needed should you change your
plans due to weather or emergency. Use one-third of your
fuel going out, one-third to return, and the rest as reserve.
Use care, courtesy and common sense when launching,
docking, or operating your boat.
In case of emergency, know the international distress
signals. If you have a VHF radio aboard. The spoken word
“MAYDAY” is the international signal of distress and is
for emergency use only. Recognize fl ares and fl ags, as well
