- When paddling in a group, never paddle beyond the abilities of your weakest paddler.
- Bring a basic repair kit, bilge pump, sunglasses, sun screen and bug repellant.
- Consider bringing a spare paddle.
- Always carry at least one form of communication (cell phone, VHF radio, satellite messenger, etc.)
- Always check the weather right up to departure time, and during longer trips.
- Check the tide charts before departure, and be aware how weather, especially winds, affect the tides. Low tides on the Big Bend, Nature Coast, and Florida Bay areas of special concern in the winter months.
- In cold months, be aware of the symptoms and treatment for hypothermia. Cold water can be extremely dangerous.
- Lights on another vessel are green on its starboard (right) side and red on its port (left) side.
- At night, a white light must be displayed to all oncoming traffic.
