Filing Float Plan Can Save Trouble

Missing and overdue boats are one of the mo6t common search calls received by the Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies They usually are from a worried relative or friend when someone has failed to return from boating within a reasonable time Often the person reporting knows only that the missing part went "out in a medium-size boat" The Coast Guard or searching agency can only launch a general search m such a case with little chance of success Bernard W right, opera tions officer for Flotilla 82 of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary , wants to make the boating public aware of the benefits of filing a

"Float Plan" before making any boat trip The "Float Plan" filed with a responsible person on shore will save worry, time and money for all concerned. IT SAVES Worry. Wright said, because people on shore will know what time to expect you home instead of worrying when you are gone longer than you should be. « It can save time if you are in trouble because searching parties will know where to look for you, saving you hours of discomfort or danger It can save money in tax dollars save by the possession of accurate information about float plans contact Bernard' Wnght of the Coast Guard at 886-4842 *
