The 90-Day Plan: DAY 60

DAY 60 

PRACTICE CLEAN & SAFE BOATING HABITS

There is nothing like a boat ride to remind you about the joys of water sports. 

There is a downside though: boats can spread invasive species, leak oil, and spread other contaminants. 


Always use bilge pump-out stations instead of disposing oily-bilge sludge into the water.

Also, make sure you remove any mussels and plants from your vessel before you leave to ensure that you minimize the spread of invasive species.


Challenge: If you are using a two-stroke engine, consider an upgrade because, some two-stroke engines emit about 30% of unburned fuel into the water.
