Also the best thing is to know the waters you fish. I am always studying the charts and the tides of my areas. After 25 years fishing there I normally have a good idea of where I am and use navaids as confirmation.
Most people seem to get in trouble because they don't know the water and go places they shouldn't

Also get a BOAT US/SEATOW package. Best 150 spent every year. Even if I don't have to use it, I will have back up.

Also have a checklist and "CHECK' it off before you untie.
