[QUOTE="ppine, post: 461214, member: 22555"] It is good to learn something about navigation. Sometimes you can get stuck in a fog bank. We fish late in the year and sometimes there can be a snow storm with limited visibility. Carry a compass and a chart. Make sure you have a depth finder. Carry a pole to push off with and check water depths in murky water. Make sure you have a way to get people back on board. I carry a ladder. Get a decent anchor (or 2) with plenty of line and a chain. Get some decent mooring lines and fenders. Carry some flares. If you have trouble with boat handling in close quarters or trailering get some help. I just got a kicker motor which gives me some confidence on big lakes in case I lose the main engine. Boating is not as simple as it seems. Be careful and take care of any guests on board. Many of them know nothing about boats. [/QUOTE]
