conditions. If you are caught in the fog, do not panic. Think of the best
plan of action and proceed carefully. If you are limited in navigation
equipment at the first sign of fog proceed to the nearest shoreline and
wait until the fog lifts.
Boats equipped with navigation equipment, local waterway experience
and charts should proceed to a safe harbor. Use extreme caution, signal
as needed, and reduce to a speed where you can stop within half of
your forward vision range.
If foul weather catches you at sea do the following:
1. Slow down and post a lookout in fog. Proceed with caution and put
on your life jackets.
2. Try to reach the nearest safe shoreline.

4. Passengers should sit low in the center of the vessel.
5. Monitor your bilge pump. Make sure bilge stays free of water.
