SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/boat-obey-special-areas
What should an operator do at controlled, danger, or exclusion areas?
Know and follow the area's regulations.
- Ignore them in daylight
- Follow the area's regulations ✔
- Enter if no boat is visible
Why: Special areas can control or prohibit boat operation. The operator is responsible for knowing and following the rules that apply there.
Huh, didn't know that: The operator is ultimately responsible for knowing and following these area rules.
The exclusion marker was not being rude. It just needed some space.
