Ftp Stored Procedure

Boaters can communicate with each other using very high frequency (VHF) marine radios and visual or sound signals. Maintaining contact with fellow boaters greatly enhances your safety on the water. It is always important to communicate your intentions to others that share the water with you. This includes kayaks, power and sailboats. Situations that warrant a call to another boater include approaches to blind corners, overtaking other vessels, meeting or crossing the approach of another vessel, and operations in conditions of reduced visibility. Knowing and learning how to make an emergency call is in the best personal interest of any boater.

Sound Signals - Coast Guard regulations require larger vessels to carry a sound producing device in order to comply with collision avoidance regulations. Paddleboats should carry a horn in their own self-defense. Small compressed air horns are readily available at marine supply stores and are amazingly loud. The following are some basic sound signals. Learning them will improve your understanding of vessel movements occurring around you.

  • One (1) short blast of the horn: I am altering my course to the right
  • Two (2) short blasts of the horn: I am altering my course to the left
  • One (1) prolonged blast every two (2) minutes: I am a power vessel underway in conditions of reduced visibility
  • Five (5) short blasts: There is a dangerous condition
  • Power boats turning into a blind corner should sound one (1) prolonged blast of the horn

Using a VHF Radio - Practice using your VHF radio prior to actually needing it. Read the owner's manual. Really. Manufacturers are producing some very capable handheld VHF radios that are also water resistant and quite small. You will need to carry spare batteries for your handheld radio. VHF radio signals propagate "line of sight," that is they will not bend around the curve of the earth or large objects. This means that depending on the power and antenna conditions unique to each radio, you will have an effective range of 5-30 miles.
