Chart of River
Essential for
Safe Boating

A chart of the Delaware Riv-
er and Bay is an essential piece
of equipment on any boat ven
turing out on those bodies of
water, the Delaware Safety
Council declared in a warning
to the thousands of Delaware
ans who own or use boats.
The number of boats which
run aground on the jetties in
the river is shocking, ]. James
Ashton, manager of the coun-
Gil, declared, pointing out that
on a recent weekend three boats
piled up on the concrete and
steel jetties. There are two jet
ties protecting the channel at
big bends in the river-one eX-
tending from New Castle to
Pea Patch Island, the other a
little further south, off Port
Penn. Both are we'll marked on
the chart of the river, and
should be no surprise to anyone
who navigates the river, in spite
of the fact that the jetties do
not show above the water at
high tide.
1t is also important for small
boat operators to realize that
there is a swift current in the
river, Mr.. Ashton said. Before
attempting to 60 swimming or
rowing in the river, or ventur-
ing out in boat with an un-
reliable motor, it is we'll to
throw a stick in the river and
see how fast the current carries
it away to get an idea of the
currents speed, he suggested.
Another of the dangers that
go with boating on the Della
ware, he continued, is the heavy
traffic of fast moving freight
ers and tankers. Small boats
must not only keep out of their

their wake which can easily

l. Inspect your boat and equip
ment before you leave the
dock or mooring.
2. Be sure the boat is not over
loaded and has the freeboard
needed to fend off rough wat
er or wake.
3. Instruct passengers on safe
behavior in the boat, and to
remain with the boat if it
capsizes.
4. Respect the rights of water
skiers, swimmers, and fisher
men.
S. Carry fire extinguisher, wat
er proof aid kit, repair kit,
spare parts, and extra fuel in
a safe container.
6. Be sure your anchor and line
are the right size.
7. See that you have a life pre-
server for each passenger,
your bailing d evice, your
whistle or horn, and the re-
quired lights.
