A safe fuel practice on a boat includes ensuring that all fuel systems are well-maintained and leak-free, using proper fuel containers, and filling tanks in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. It's important to keep the fuel levels appropriate to avoid overfilling and potential spills, and to regularly check for any signs of fuel contamination or water intrusion. Additionally, having fire extinguishers readily accessible and knowing how to respond in case of a fuel-related emergency are essential safety measures.

Yes, it is, it's perfectly normal, whatever floats your boat!
When one boat is overtaking another, the overtaking boat should give way to the boat being overtaken. According to the nautical rules, the overtaking vessel is required to keep clear of the other boat, which is considered the stand-on vessel. This ensures safe navigation and prevents collisions on the water.
