Float Plans

Airplane pilots, both commercial and recreational, file "flight plans" prior to each takeoff. Likewise, we encourage all boaters to file a float plan. Please print and complete this page, before going boating, and leave it with a reliable person who can be depended upon to notify the Coast Guard, or other rescue organization, should you not return as scheduled. Do not file this plan with the Coast Guard.
