Filing a float plan

An essential practice for ensuring your safety while sailing is filing a float plan. In the event of an emergency, a float plan can provide vital information to aid search and rescue efforts.

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary offers a PDF form that can be filled out on your computer, and emailed to a responsible party.
