Boating Safety Tips
 | Radio Communication
Consider getting a VHF radio. VHFs are:
 | relatively inexpensive; |
| designed to withstand the marine
environment; |
| a quick, reliable means of
reaching the Coast Guard, marine police, tow companies and other key help
organizations; |
| useful for weather forecasts and
bulletins, as well as general safety information; |
| indispensable for contacting
commercial ships and naval vessels for navigation and security purposes; and |
| helpful for getting in touch
with bridge tenders and marinas. |
|
A cell phone with a list of key
numbers is a good backup. However, cell phone coverage is less
dependable than VHF on the water.
