Day Shapes

Episode Summary

Day Shapes are required by the rules of navigation to be displayed under certain circumstances, but recreational vessels seem to rarely use them. Robert Rice joins us once again this week to tell us all about Day Shapes, what they mean, and when to use them. The Great Loop is a 6,000-mile circumnavigation of the eastern U.S. and a part of Canada. Loopers undertake this adventure of a lifetime aboard their own boats, often taking a year or more to complete the route. America's Great Loop Cruisers' Association provides information and inspiration for those planning for, currently cruising, or dreaming about a Great Loop adventure. Join us for events, members-only forum access, marina and fuel discounts, and more! www.greatloop.org/joinus
