“Rules of the Road” for small boats in-land and on Lake Erie. Do we really know what that buoy is for, what safety equipment is required in a canoe, sailboat, powerboat, who has the right of way? Our friends at the ODNR will conduct a two-part series on these items and much more including a session on basic navigation. |
