25.01.2022 Marine Safety The need to carry in-date flares when boating in open waters will be highlighted as part of a focus on safety at boat ramps to coincide with the start of summer. Department of Transport (DoT) Marine Officers will lead two weekend-long campaigns targeting metropolitan boat ramps north and south of the river where all vessels are safety checked before they launch. The first weekend long campaign will focus on boat ramps from Woodman Point to Port Kennedy next weekend (November 28th and 29th, 2020) and the second campaign, on December 12th and 13th, will concentrate on launch sites from Hillarys Boat Harbour to Two Rocks.

23.01.2022 Marine Safety WA ftYSeplostiglehrmdnoratfcys niatlh o4l:s12 PMfrescd This month's fastest time for the 30 second challenge is Colin from Atwell. Nice work putting on a lifejacket, presenting your flares and EPIRB, and making a simulated mayday call in under 30 seconds. Hope you enjoy the new lifejacket, flares and bailer. The next time you see education officers at boat ramps, have a go at the 30 second challenge!

22.01.2022 A dolphin has been rescued after getting stuck in a remote Queensland rockpool for at least four days. Despite its ordeal, the mammal was in a reasonably good condition and was able to be released immediately.

22.01.2022 Some really bad boat crashes here

22.01.2022 Well-maintained motors are unlikely to break down, and most breakdowns consist of the motor refusing to start rather than simply stopping. Outboard not starting or stopping Not everything in this list applies to every outboard motor, but it is the basis of a simple troubleshooting routine of an outboard not starting or if the motor stops.... Does tank have fuel? Is air vent clear? Is fuel line unkinked and connected? Is the fuel bulb hard? If not, squeeze continually. Does choke close fully? Check the carburettor air intake. Is the motor cranking fast enough? Check battery connections. Wait five minutes and try again. Battery flat? Start with rope around flywheel. Broken starter cord? Start with rope around flywheel. Change spark plugs. Change fuses. Ensure kill switch is attached. If you are unable to restart the motor, you should: Drop anchor to hold your position (if possible). Call Sea Rescue for assistance. If you are drifting into danger and/or come to require emergency assistance, you should make a Pan Pan or Mayday call over the radio

18.01.2022 Navigation charts Before leaving, you should know: Exactly where you are going. How to get there.... How long it will take to get back. Carry a chart of the area. Check on any special boating regulations for the area you plan to visit. Marine charts give detailed information including depths, tidal range and streams, navigation hazards and anchorages. They are essential when operating in unfamiliar areas, and more than useful at any time. Team them with local advice on local conditions. With a chart and a compass you can: Work out your position (very important if you need to give your position to rescuers). Find a course back to shore if rain, fog, or smoke obscure the land. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Global Positioning Systems (GPS) give an instant latitude and longitude position. They are invaluable for giving your position when using a radio to advise a shore station or other party of your position. You should also carry a chart and compass as back-up. Depth sounder A depth sounder is a useful aid when approaching an anchorage or confirming chart details.

18.01.2022 MAH JONG is a 52' yawl designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Cheoy Lee Shipyards in Hong Kong. The original boat was flush-decked forward of the doghouse. A recent refit by Gannon & Benjamin of Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, included the addition of a trunk cabin and skylight, which gives the interior a more open, lighter feeling than the original. . https://bit.ly/WBISSUE263

16.01.2022 Who must carry them? Vessels operating in unprotected waters (outside the waters contained by any breakwater or in any lake, river or estuary other than the waters of Cambridge Gulf or Lake Argyle) must carry an approved lifejacket for each person on board. Each lifejacket must suit the weight of the person for whom it is intended, be maintained in good condition and kept in an easily accessible place.... When to wear lifejackets Lifejackets are a key safety feature in recreational boating. A National Marine Safety Committee (NMSC) study found that people who survived a boating incident were more than two times more likely to have been wearing a lifejacket compared to those who died and concluded that if lifejacket usage increased to 50%, 2-3 lives could be saved nationally each year. Besides wearing them in emergencies, you also enhance safety if you wear lifejackets in the following circumstances: At the first sign of bad weather. Between sunset and sunrise or during restricted visibility. When operating in unfamiliar waters. When operating with a following sea. When boating alone (this is especially recommended). At all times on children under 10 years. If you are a poor swimmer. Practice putting them on in the dark and in the water; it is harder than you think.

14.01.2022 Make sure you check nav lights Vessels less than 50 metres in length at anchor, shall exhibit an all round white light placed where it may best be seen. Anchored light Anchor lights must always be shown from sunset to sunrise. If you are at anchor or in a busy area, then show additional lights to ensure you are seen and keep a good watch.... There are many other combinations of lights used on vessels. The lights shown relate to the activity the vessel is engaged in, for example: fishing, dredging, not under command. Note: A simple rule of thumb for a small power boat is to stay clear of any vessels exhibiting additional lights.

05.01.2022 The rain was pouring down outside O'Connor's Irish Pub. There standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub was an old Irishman, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water. A passer-by stopped and asked him, "What are you doing?... Fishing , replied the old man. Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent says, Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me. In the warm ambiance of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the gentleman, being a bit of a superior smart ass, cannot resist asking, "So how many have you caught today? "You're the 8th", replied the old man. See more

02.01.2022 "The professional skipper had few distractions. He did his chartwork and held a course by looking across the compass and out the windshield."Steve Haefele This past month, a boat plowed into a navigation aid not far from our dock. The local news reported on the rise in boating accidents in our area. After noodling the statistics, I discovered that, given my tenure in the pastime, I was at risk. I went to sea in a bassinet, practiced naval architecture and earned a captains l...icense. How could this be? The numbers in the report suggested that those with the most time on the watersober or otherwiseare increasingly running into stuff and into one another. It seems that skippers who claim to have boating experience are the most likely to become a statistic. Experience just isnt what it used to be. Back in the day, there were no online exercises or certificates. I earned a position at the helm of a 13-foot Whaler after several years of hands-on tutoring in seamanship and the rules of the road. Most boats were incapable of more than 20 knots back then, and there were fewer boats on the waterways. Aids to navigation were just as plentiful, and skippers used their eyes and a chart to avoid collisions. At the time, radiotelephones were just a bit more reliable than Morse code. Radar sets fitted with blackout cones were disorienting when functional, and radio direction finders were almost useless. Electronics gave the owners of larger boats something to brag about, and generally, skippers only turned on the stuff to impress the guests. The professional skipper had few distractions. He did his chartwork and held a course by looking across the compass and out the windshield. It was a brilliant setup. ADVERTISEMENT
