Here are links to a few websites and documents with information that we think will make your boating experience safer and more enjoyable -- for you and your fellow boaters.

U.S Coast Guard's U.S. Aids to Navigation System  The Navigation Rules are much like the rules of the road on the highway. They establish a consistent way to navigate safely and avoid collisions when two boats are crossing paths, are on course to meet head-on, or when one boat wishes to overtake another. The U.S. Aids to Navigation System is a system maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard, consisting of visual, audible, and electronic signals which are designed to assist the prudent mariner in the process of navigation. The aids to navigation system is not intended to identify every shoal or obstruction to navigation which exists in the navigable waters of the United States, but rather provides for reasonable marking of marine features as resources permit. You may want to print or download this .pdf to your computer as a handy reference.
