All About the Go/No-Go
America’s Boating Channel® Releases New Video About Making Decisions Before Getting Underway.
America’s Boating Channel® has released a new educational video designed to help recreational boaters confidently make critical go/no-go decisions before hitting the water.
Produced by the award-winning boating safety video service of America’s Boating Club® | United States Power Squadrons®, the video explores the numerous factors that influence a safe departure decision, ranging from trip duration to rapidly changing weather forecasts.
The video highlights key questions boaters should ask themselves prior to getting underway, such as: “Do you understand how the tide and current will interact during your trip?” and “Are the skills and experience of your passengers a good match for your planned route?” Additionally, it encourages boaters to implement a pre-departure checklist to ensure consistent, smart decision-making.
“Having a reliable system to make go/no-go decisions provides immense peace of mind when you’re out on the water,” says John O’Reilly, Executive Director of America’s Boating Channel. “This video simplifies that process for boaters. Ultimately, sometimes the best decision you can make for yourself and your crew is to stay at the dock.”
Tailored for both novice and seasoned boaters, this latest release complements America’s Boating Channel’s extensive library of online boating safety and educational content.
The video is available for free viewing at America’s Boating Channel YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@AmericasBoatingChannel/videos) or on the free on-demand app on Roku or FireTV.
America’s Boating Channel is produced by America’s Boating Club | United States Power Squadrons, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting safe boating through education, civic service, and fellowship.
