Sometimes the weather just does it!!

Our students got a treat today after a week of high winds!

Wind is the one factor on water that creates situations that get people into trouble.

Remember to compare a number of sites to get an average idea about what to expect for the day, and the conditions can be up to 40% higher then predicted.

🌞 Winter in Queensland? Someone forgot to tell the weather!

Another stunning day on the water with calm conditions, blue skies and plenty to see, including ferries, barges and all the activity that makes boating in Moreton Bay so enjoyable.

Thinking about getting your boat licence?

Winter is one of the best times to learn. Comfortable temperatures, great conditions and less traffic on the water make it ideal for new boaters.

With strong winds and unsettled conditions forecast over the next couple of days, now is a good reminder that the smartest decision on the water is sometimes staying off it.

Rough weather increases risk, even for experienced operators. Reduced visibility, sudden wind changes, and short, sharp chop can quickly turn a routine trip into a dangerous situation.

If you are not heading out, use this time productively:

Check all safety equipment is compliant and onboard

Confirm expiry dates on flares, life jackets, EPIRBs, and fire extinguishers

Inspect your vessel’s mechanical condition

Book servicing or maintenance if required

Good skippers plan ahead. Safe boating starts before you leave the ramp.

Stay safe on the water.

About 12 months ago, life jacket laws changed in QLD.
Do you know when they must be worn... Or is it going to cost you?

Check the laws here:

A lifejacket is a vital piece of safety equipment that could save your life. Put the lifejacket on as part of your pre-trip preparation. It is a lot harder to put a lifejacket on during an emergency and almost impossible to put it on when you are in the water.

Navigation lights must be displayed between sunset and sunrise including jet skis.

Not sure what light you need?

Have a look at the MSQ site here: https://www.msq.qld.gov.au/safety/navigation-lights

Or reach out to one of our trainers for assistance.

Navigation lights should be fitted by the manufacturer or an authorised person. Smaller boats have a number of options including bracketed or combination suction-capped lights. These types of navigation lights are available from marine dealers.

MYTH: "If I've got a lifejacket onboard, it doesn’t matter if I'm wearing it."

🚫 BUSTED: In an emergency, you won’t have time to rummage through compartments or under the seats looking for a lifejacket, and it’s almost impossible to put on once you are in the water.

🦺 FACT: Lifejackets are the seatbelts of the sea - they only work if you’re actually wearing them. Especially in risky conditions or unexpected weather, putting it on before you need it can be the difference between life and loss.

There are also new lifejacket laws in QLD requiring you to wear them in specific high-risk situations. Know the rules, wear the jacket, and look after your crew.
