Canadian Boating Exam Practice Quiz

Ensuring that someone knows where you are going and when to expect you back is important for:

1. Planning purposes

2. Security at the marina

3. Safety reasons

4. Fuel estimation

The correct answer is: Safety reasons

Letting someone know where you are going and your expected return time is important for your own safety. This is because in the event of an emergency, someone will know where to find you and when to check on your well-being. Option A is incorrect because informing someone of your whereabouts and ETA is more about personal safety rather than planning for an activity. Option B is incorrect because while it may be helpful to have security at a marina, it is not the main reason for letting someone know your whereabouts and expected return time. Option D is incorrect because fuel estimation is not a primary concern when it comes to informing someone of your itinerary. Ensuring your safety should be the main priority.
