A thorough understanding of, and faithful adherence to, these orders will help ensure your cruise is a safe, positive experience you will cherish as one of the highlights of your naval career. The concern for safety must be foremost in everyone's minds as we put to sea. We have the finest looking boat on the waterfront and want to keep her that way.
Sailing is fun.
Liberty is fun. When you are unable to get a fix in piloting waters within two established fix intervals. If charted depth in the vicinity of a fix varies greater than ten feet from the reading of the fathometer, when in less than 50 feet of water. If a casualty occurs onboard or there is a report of a casualty on another STC in company. If a marked change in visibility occurs.
