My family is taking a vacation to San Diego, I am renting a boat in Mission Bay. It is a 21' Sea Ray open bow. They are telling me you cant take it into the Pacific Ocean unless you have previous ocean experience. I am just curious as to what are the different regulations from me taking my boat to Havasu where it's way more dangerous in my opinion, than cruising the ocean. We were planning on spreading my father in-laws ashes out to sea. I really dont want to spread them in Mission Bay. Any advice from people who have boating experience on the ocean, please chime in.
The Ocean is much harder then Havasu. You have to be carefull of the wave sets.. They are not always in formation.. And I would not take a 21' boat in the ocean.. But that is just me.. also I don't think you are allowed to spread ashes yourself.. If you are don't let them know that.( sorry for you and your wifes loss.)
You have to be afraid of the ocean if you are not you are crazy.
The ocean changes all the time so be carefull.
