Roads and Maritime has web-cam vision of certain coastal bars and other important locations to help boaters and skippers in preparing for a safe and responsible voyage.
Web cameras are just one part of a suit of measures, including simple things like wearing your lifejacket, which help with bar crossings and boating safety in NSW.
When considering crossing a bar, the best catch phrase for skippers – who are ultimately responsible for the safety of all on board – is If in doubt, don’t go out.
Checking the live web cams may be very useful when making this decision.
