Hello Folks:

For the purpose of discussion, and in the hope that someone might read
this before chartering in my cruising grounds this year, I'm proposing
Neptune's rules of Boating Etiquette. I'll propose the first few
rules, and then everyone can add more, or flame me, or argue as they
see fit.

1. Never run a tender in an anchorage or marina any faster than you
can row it.

2. Keep generator operation to an absolute minimum when sharing an
anchorage.

3. Be cognisant of, and accept responsibility for, your vessel's wake
at all times.

4. Think safety and courtesy before exercising right-of-way (i.e.:
don't tack in front of someone just because you can, or pass a slower
boat in a narrow channel to save two minutes).


Well?
