It’s been on the cooler side this week, but this weekend you’ll see some warmer days on the horizon.⁣ ⁣ For those taking to the water for a cool down, you and the vessel(s) you operate are required to comply with the relevant marine safety laws.⁣ ⁣ On all Victorian waters a 5 knot speed limit applies to all operators within:⁣ 🌊 50m of a person e.g. a swimmer ⁣ 🌊 50m of another vessel ⁣ 🌊 200m of the water’s edge (50m for inland waters) ⁣ 🌊 50m of any wharf or similar structure ⁣ 🌊 when passing through an anchorage. ⁣ ⁣ Remember: 5 knots is equivalent to 8-9 km/h or a fast walking pace - It takes 20 seconds to travel 50 m and 80 seconds to travel 200 m.⁣ ⁣ For more safety tips before heading out on a recreational vessel head to the link in bio 🔗⁣ ⁣ #SummerSafety #WaterSafety #Summer #MelbourneSummer #jetskiaustralia
