Float Plan

When you go on a boating outing you plan as much as possible so that nothing goes wrong. You watch the weather, you carry enough fuel, and you carry spare parts for emergency repairs. But if you were to have an accident, or be stranded with a disabled boat, or if the boat were to sink or be destroyed by fire, would anyone know where you were? Would they even know you were gone? These questions will be answered in your favor if you fill out the attached form and leave it with a responsible family member or friend before you leave.
