## Caption

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.⁣
⁣
