Nothing like a bit of exposure!
Brad’s Tip #20 – Boat Ramp etiquette When launching, prepare your vessel away from the main ramp then once ready, join the line-up for the ramp. Give others plenty of space and don’t put them under pressure as they may make mistakes. Do not moor your vessel in the immediate vicinity of the ramp, leave it clear for others. Once you have launched your boat move away from the ramp expeditiously so the next person can get their boat wet.
Brad’s Tip #19 – Dolphins Dolphins are great! We have a species of dolphin unique to the Gippsland Lakes, the Burunnan Dolphin. They are known for their spectacular acrobatics! However, don’t chase them, let them come to you. If you are coming up from behind the pod give them a wide berth as they may not hear you coming!
Brad’s Tip #18 - Mooring at Public Jetties We are very lucky here on the Gippsland Lakes to have access to some great destinations. Make sure you display courtesy and good seamanship by adhering to stay time limits, leaving room for other vessels and using the part of the jetty suitable for your vessel (i.e. if your vessel is small, use the part of the jetty closest to shore).
Brad’s Tip #17 – First Aid kits First Aid kits are not a requirement for recreational vessels in Victoria but are a ‘must have’ for on the water. Patching up fishing hook injuries, application of wound dressings and antiseptic cream to barnacle scrapes, digging out broken glass from a foot after someone dropped their beer are all things I have used my first aid kit for. A great asset for a small investment.
Brad’s Tip #16 – Man Overboard If you have a man overboard, the following actions should be completed: Yell ‘man overboard’, instruct someone to not take their eyes off the person in the water, throw a lifebuoy or other floating objects in the direction of the person in the water, depress MOB button on GPS, raise a ‘Pan Pan’ call on VHF radio if you have difficulty locating the person in the water. And of course, turn the boat around and pick them up!
