Marine Sound Signals

Monday, May 31st, 2010

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.

Marine Rules of the Road

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

CAUTION: This is a subset of the Rules of the Road or  “ColRegs”.  Everyone is encouraged to read the ColRegs at least once in their boating career.

Rule number 1 is to always avoid a collision. If a collision occurs the Nav. Rules were not observed. The Coast Guard and Admiralty Court take the position that there are no accidents.

A watch (lookout) is required anytime that a vessel is under way.
