My Boating Adventures & Adventures in Boating Safety
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010
Puget Sound has a large amount of vessel traffic and has very specific safety zones around whales and many types of ships. All mariners need to understand and observe the safety zones.
Washington State Ferries and other Passenger Carrying Vessels: Operate at minimum speed when within 500 yards and do not approach within 100 yards. If you must approach within 100 yards to comply with the Navigation Rules you must contact the Master of the vessel or the Coast Guard escort vessels or other on scene escort vessels on VHF-FM channel 13 or 16 for instructions. Do not approach within 25 yards of a moored passenger vessel. 33-CFR-1317

This is a PowerPoint presentation I have given several times covering Sound Signals for the Rules of the Road in Puget Sound. Puget Sound does have some Local Customs with sound signals and the Ferries. This is a subset of rules but it does cover sound signals most likely to be seen by small boaters in the Puget Sound Area. (Approximately 12 minutes long)
Thanks for your interest in boating safety.
