Tales of the Plan

The Tales of the Plan library contains over a dozen short stories about real-life recreational boating events involving a variety of vessel types that illustrate the value of preparing the USCG Float Plan.  Each story illustrates one of two scenarios: 1) how the float plan made the difference in effecting a quick and successful search and rescue by those who took the time to prepare one, or 2) the consequences that were needlessly endured by those who didn't.
