Float Plan

A Float Plan identifies the boater's intended route, expected arrival times, the passengers on board, and important information about the boat and it's equipment. This information is invaluable to rescuers if the boaters don't return on schedule.  It makes the search and rescue operation more effective by giving the rescue agencies a starting point and an anticipated location or route.
