Fog
Fog is a result of either warm-surface or cold-surface conditions. You can
judge the likelihood of fog formation by periodically measuring the air
temperature and dew point temperature. If the difference between these
two temperatures is small, fog is likely to develop.
Remember the following guidelines:
• Unless your boat is well equipped with charts and navigational
equipment, head for shore at the first sign of fog and wait until
conditions improve. If you have charts on board, take bearings as
fog sets in, mark your position, and continue to log your course and
speed.
• Make sure all persons onboard put on their personal flotation devices.
• If your boat has sounding equipment, take soundings regularly and
match them with depths shown on your charts.
• Station a person forward in the boat as a lookout.
• Reduce your speed. From time to time, stop engines and listen for
other fog signals.
• Sound the horn or fog bell intermittently to warn others.
• If there is any doubt in continuing your excursion, anchor. Listen for
other fog signals while continuing to sound your fog horn or bell.
Emergency Procedures
The following is not an exhaustive list of situations which may be
encountered while boating. You should obtain training to handle any
emergencies which may arise.
Fire
To help prevent a fire onboard your boat, keep your bilges clean and check
for fuel vapors at regular intervals. Also, DO NOT fit free-hanging curtains
or other fabrics in the vicinity of or above the stove top or other high-heat
devices. Do not store any materials or equipment of any kind in the engine
room.
Any fire onboard your boat is serious. Explosion is possible.
Develop a fire response plan. Respond immediately.
Every boater should develop a fire response plan to determine what kind
of fire (fuel, electrical, etc.) might break out, where it might break out,
and the best way to react. Have a plan and, if possible, assign
responsibilities to others to allow quicker decisions and reactions.
