All VMRS Groups monitor radio listening watches on Marine Radio 27.88MHz and VHF Channel 16. Most Groups also monitor other frequencies such as 27.90MHz, 27.91 MHz and VHF channels 72 and 73, as well as their own channels. Don’t hesitate to call any VMRS Group on your marine radio!

Most boating accidents are the result of a series of smaller things going wrong. The more things that you get right, the less likely you are to hit big trouble. The time to start getting them right is before you set out. Plan for even the smallest trip.

Prepare your voyage plan, remembering to tell someone about where you intend to go and how long you intend to be out on the water. The person to advise is the duty officer at the local sea rescue group. Failing that, a responsible neighbour.

Plan all your day's boating activities. Always allow yourself plenty of time to return to the shore before nightfall. Navigation lights are essential for boats out after sunset. If you change your plan notify someone.
