Tell your local Marine Rescue radio base when you go out and when you’ll be back. Log On with your marine radio so Marine Rescue knows you’re out there and when you’re due back. 2. Wear your lifejackets. Lifejackets save lives – but only when you wear them. NSW regulations require you to wear lifejackets at certain times. Marine Rescue NSW recommends you wear them at all times when boating. 3. Travel at a safe speed and keep a good look out. A safe speed is one where you can stop fast in an emergency. A good look out means the skipper is always aware of conditions around the boat. 4. Check your mechanicals and electricals before you go. More breakdowns are caused by mechanical and electric faults than any other cause. 5. Check your safety equipment before you go. Lifejackets; marine radio; anchor and chain or line (attached to the boat!); emergency flares; EPIRB if going out 2 nautical miles or more; bailing bucket; fire bucket; fire extinguisher; navigation lights, orange V-sheet; waterproof torch. These are all mandatory and smart skippers will also have First Aid and Tool Kits on board. 6. Make sure your fuel is fresh. Old fuel causes serious problems that can leave you stranded at sea. The Boat Owners Association says bio fuels are also causing some concern. 7. Call your local Marine Rescue radio base for a radio check. The Marine Rescue operator will tell you if your radio signal is strong and clear – or if it’s not, so you can fix it before you need it. 8. Check the weather forecast before you go. Go to www.bom.gov.au first. Then listen for weather updates on your marine radio or call your local Marine Rescue base for the latest information. 9. Know your position. If you break down out there or any other emergency strikes, we need to know where you are to come and help. 10. Take extreme care crossing bars. If you’ve never crossed the bar you want to cross, do not attempt it without getting local advice. Then prepare and plan your crossing. If in doubt, don’t go out. 33.
