We should never be complaisant when we leave our vessel after use, we can never be sure when we will be able to re-attend and so we should always leave the boat in a state where if left for a prolonged amount of time it will be as safe as possible.

 

Whenever we attend our vessels we should get into the habit of carrying out checks to make sure all is well,

after all a pilot never takes off without doing so. It is also just as important for us to make sure our vessel is put to bed correctly after a trip.
