Captain's Log: Inspiration & Updates

Are you among the millions of waterfront property owners who have a dock? Is it occupied? Or is it sitting empty? If it’s an empty dock, we can help change that!

Didn’t master all the boating knots throughout the busy summer season? No problem! The fall is the perfect time to learn what types of knots are necessary for your boating and water sport needs, while practicing until you master them as the calmer, crisper fall boating season arrives. And don’t stop there. Keep practicing. By next summer boating season, you’ll be a pro!

Boating is traditionally thought of during the warm summer months with swimming, waterskiing and other water sports, however, there is something special about fall boating. As summer comes to a close and your children head back to school, why not extend the boating season into autumn and enjoy the crisp cooler days on the boat? There’s no better place or time of year to indulge in the fall foliage as the leaves start to change color.

Being a guest to someone’s home, property, or dock is a special privilege. It is the guest’s duty to be respectful and responsible. Using the suggested etiquette rules and tips will make the docking experience a smooth partnering transaction for all parties involved.

As an organization with a mission to make the water accessible to everyone, we want all our members to be courteous hosts and guests, so that dock owners continue to say Be Our Guest to boaters. Visit our blog next month for Part 2 of Being a Great Guest where we’ll share our team members’ favorite host gifts.
