NSRI National Warnings: NSRI are urging boaters at sea, particularly fishermen, to maintain the compulsory watch on the Emergency VHF Radio Frequency channel 16 at all times. Boaters and any craft launching to go to sea are also urged to let a responsible person know your departure time your exact route and intentions and your return time, stick to your intended plan, if it deviates let that responsible person know of the changes. The responsible person on shore should have the sea rescue emergency numbers programmed into their phone (sea rescue emergency numbers can be obtained at www.nsri.org.za). A plan of action should be formulated with the responsible person on the shore so that if you don’t return on schedule (and if you haven’t let them know of changes to your intended routine) that person should call sea rescue without delay. But boaters out of cellphone range also have the option of calling Telkom Maritime Radio Services on Marine Radio Frequency to let them know that they are safe and that their plans have changed
