OUR GOAL ...

To educate the public to "Log on" and "Log off" for Safety at Sea

A good skipper plans for a day on the water and organises safety equipment, fuel, water, communications and mooring lines before leaving the boat ramp.  
​Note : An 8 knot speed limit applies in the Murchison River.

Please remember to 'Log on' and 'Log off' with Marine Rescue Kalbarri, VHF Channel 80 before heading out to sea and supply them with:

• The vessel’s name, registration number or call sign;
• Your intended destination, ETA and number of people on board
• Skippers name and contact number

For a more detailed guide to logging on, please follow this LINK
