If fi shing from your boat, never anchor in shipping channels, or tie up
to any navigational aids. These must be kept clear of at all times. Be
sure to carry a chart of the area and be on the lookout for shallow water
and hidden obstructions. Tidal charts can help you avoid grounding.
Remember, the skipper is responsible for any damage caused
by his wake. Use common sense and be a responsible captain!
