After-odor On Boats And Should: Noise on a Boat seems to be amplified, so walk and speak softly and your shipmates will be glad you're aboard.
Smoking should stop, of course, when gasoline is to be taken aboard, but care is the order of the day even when smoking is permissible. A carelessly flicked cigarette ash or butt has started many a fire in a chair, awning, or compartment. Cigars leave a particu-
larly unpleasant after-odor on boats and should be enjoyed only in the open air.
Use regular mouse cage (see Part IV), which is designed to facilitate cleaning. Place so as to protect sleeping box from drafts; pet is sensitive to cold.
Never allow cage to become moist from excretions or accumulations of food. Peculiar odor of mice comes from excretions; pet itself is extremely clean. To counteract odor, use any good commercial cage bottom cover, such as pitch pine shavings purchased at pet store; clean out cage as soon as odor becomes noticeable; watch sleeping box; clean out as needed. Mouse usually chooses definite corner for droppings; wash corner weekly with Lysol solution or other effective deodorant.See Also Fleet Of Boats Present:The routines of other yacht clubs may be considerably less formal and detailed than those that follow, but whatever routines are used, they are likely to have been derived from the procedures of the New York Yacht Club.
• Salutes. All salutes shall be made by dipping the yacht ensign once, lowering the ensign to the dip, and hoisting it when the salute is returned. All salutes shall be returned. Whistles shall never be used in saluting.
Vessels of the United States and foreign navies shall be saluted.
When a flag officer of the club comes to anchor, he shall be saluted by all yachts present, except where there is a senior flag officer present.
When a yacht comes to anchor where a flag officer is present, such officer shall be saluted. A junior flag officer anchoring in the presence of a senior shall salute.
Yachts passing shall salute, the junior saluting first.
All salutes shall be answered in kind.
A yacht acting as race committee Boat should neither salute nor be saluted while displaying the committee flag.
• Boats. Upon entering and leaving boats, deference is shown seniors by juniors' entering first and leaving last.
When aboard boats, flag officers display their flags, captains (owners) their private signals, and members (non-owners) the club burgee. When on duty, the fleet captain and race committee display their distinctive flags. The flag of the senior officer aboard takes precedence. A flag officer aboard a Boat not displaying his distinc-
v y
tive flag should be considered as present in an unofficial capacity. When two boats are approaching the same gangway or landing stage, flag officers shall have the right-of-way in order of seniority.
In formal ceremonies, such as the rendezvous of a yacht club or Power Squadron, the fleet of boats present may pass in review before the flagship of the commodore or other unit commander. In such cases, each craft will salute as it passes. Vessels may also exchange salutes when joining a club cruise, for example, or when passing a ship with a high public official on board.
Dipping the Ensign in Salute
On The Other Hand See Registered Boats:Boat registration is required by the Federal Boating Act of 1958. The types of boats required to be registered, and the state offices that handle the registration, are shown .
For state registered boats, the registration numbers must be permanently displayed on each side of the forward half of the boat;
they must be plain, vertical, block characters not less than three inches high, and in a color contrasting with the background. A dash or a space equal in width to a letter must separate the numerals from the letters that precede and follow them; for example, FL-1235-AB or FL 1234 AB. Any state sticker should be placed in accordance with the state's requirements.
