Restricted Visibility and Safe Operation
Boaters should take additional care when operating at night or during periods of restricted visibility, such as darkness, fog or heavy rain.
If you hear a sound signal during restricted visibility, you should reduce your speed in order to proceed safely. Make sure you keep the engine ready for immediate action in case another boat or hazard comes through the fog or darkness and puts your boat at immediate risk of collision.
