when the bow hits the water.

Driving
It is easy to drive when the weather is fine and the sea calm. However, always remember to
keep an adequate lookout. In order to maintain the best possible visibility from the driver's
position, you should:
-
Ensure that passengers do not restrict your visibility
-
Do not drive near planing speed for long periods, as the bow up comes up and
reduces visibility
-
When visibility is poor, look over the windshield
-
Remember to also keep a lookout behind you, particularly on shipping lanes and
heavily trafficked routes.
NOTE!
Use proper navigation lights after dark.
Always adjust your speed to prevailing conditions and the environment. Take into account
the following:
-
waves (also consult the passengers on what is a comfortable speed);
-
your own bow wake (greatest at planing speed, least at speeds under 5 knots);
