Float Plan
To make it easy for our moored members here at Kadena Marina we have posted an electronic version of our "Float Plan".
The policy for any authorized person using our harbor is to make sure you have filed a "Float Plan" prior to your departure via your watercraft. This is for safety reasons, especially if you do not return. We can use this float plan as a means to locate you or at least give us a general idea where we can start searching.
You can fill this out at home or work, and simply e-mail it to the harbormaster or print a copy and place it in our drop-box.
