Most boaters sh from time to time. With the
propulsion systems of today it is possible to sh
in out-of-the-way places. When cruising, stay
clear of sherman. ey may have lines or nets
out which might be cut or get caught in your
propeller if you come too close. Slow down
when approaching shing boats.
Do not return to cruising speed until the boats
have been passed. If a shing boat should be
anchored, a large wake could ip or swamp the boat, upset shing
gear, pull the anchor loose from the bottom or worse yet cause
someone to fall overboard.
When shing from your boat, never anchor in shipping channel or tie
up to any navigational aids. ese 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. Pick up a local tidal chart if
appropriate so you do not end up grounded.
Remember, the skipper is responsible for any damage caused by his
wake. Use common sense and be a responsible captain!
