Forms and Checklists

Part of being safe is being organized. But if you've never made a float plan or used a checklist, creating one from scratch can be a royal pain in the rear.

Here are some things used in Toy Boat 2. They were prepared in Microsoft Word, and formated to fit a small Day Planner (5.5"W x 8.5"H pages). Please feel free to download and modify, and let me know if you've got something else of note to add!
