Tips for Glades-River
- Lines, fenders and plug: sort them out in the lot, then roll down to Glades-River ready to go.
- Wet concrete is slippery: at Glades-River, brake on and transmission in park before you leave the driver's seat.
- Winch the boat on when you leave Glades-River, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- When you leave Glades-River, pull off any weeds and drain all water from the boat.
