Spares on Your Boat
Now is the time to start planning for the 2016 boating season (winter dreaming isn't planning!) and one category on your "to do" list should be "Update Spares". Often little things go wrong, and carrying the right selection of spares can save the day.
Here is a partial list:
Impellers... Put a new one in each year and keep two new ones as spares. Remember the generator too!
Fan Belts... you know why
Hose clamps... a couple different sizes will do. Remember you can connect two small ones together to make a larger one.
Rescue Tape and Duct Tape... every MacGuyver does.
A sharp knife... for when that line gets around the prop.
Diving mask or swim goggles... for when that line gets around the prop.
Fuel filters... dirt in the tanks or a bad batch can ruin your day in a hurry.
Spark plugs... especially for the dinghy.
Real Tools... not a set from Walmart that break under load.
(If cruising) A toilet rebuild kit... you know why.

Rules of the Road Review
Speed in the Harbor, Near Docks, Anchored
and Moored boats Norwalk Harbor has a 6 mile per hour speed limit which extends all the way up the river within 100 feet of moored vessels and 300 feet from the shore. The speed zone begins at the Flashing Red "10" Rockpile by the Manresa Island power plant when approaching from the West and from the Quick Flashing Red "14" rockpile off Calf Pasture Point when approaching from the East. It extends past the moored boats mid harbor and all the way North up the Norwalk river.  Please remember you share the harbor with other boaters, kayakers, windsurfers, kiteboarders, sailing schools and stand up paddle boarders ! Rule - 6 Safe Speed Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. In determining safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account: the visibility, traffic density, maneuverability of the vessel with special reference to stopping distance and turning ability, at night the presence of background light such as from shore lights, the state of the wind, sea, current, proximity of navigational hazards, and the draft in relation to the available depth of water. Additionally, vessels with operational radar must use that radar to its fullest extent to determine the risk of collision. YOU are Responsible for Your WAKE !
