H2O info A Plea for Boater Caution Fatal accidents involving collisions between recreational boats and commercial traffic in NYC waters are on the rise. We beg you to remember some safety rules and share them with your friends:Barges are often out of sight behind tugs being towed on long cables. Do not cut behind a tug, especially if you do not know how to read the towing lights that indicate if, and how, the tug is towing another vessel. Do not anchor in the channel, do not tie up to navigational aids, do get out of the way of larger vessels (they generally have right of way since they can't move out of narrow channels); always carry a VHF marine radio, and know the rules of the road (no, sailboats do not always have the right of way).
