Alright, to sum it all up, remember to stick to the spots that the NSW Government says you can moor your boat and be careful while doing so. Keep an eye out for the special areas where you can tie up your boat, especially when it’s dark and things get a bit tricky to see. Always be on the lookout for swimmers, small boats, and those sneaky ropes. And if you’re cruising fast at 6 knots or more, make sure to stay at least 30 metres away from any parked boats. But hey, if that’s not possible, just play it safe and keep a comfy distance.
