This question came from a question I was asked by a boat owner walking passed us just after some students finished berthing our boat. 

You're planning a weekend trip on your 10m powerboat with a group of friends. Your route involves cruising along a river that eventually leads to an estuary. The weather forecast predicts clear skies and calm conditions for the entire weekend.

  • What are some key factors you should consider when preparing for a powerboating trip that involves transitioning from a river to an estuary?
  • How might you adjust your navigation and boating practices when moving from a narrower river to an estuary?

My thoughts next week.
