2. Call ahead so:
   a. The club can insure space is available.

3.  When making arrangements ask about club and marina rules such
    as do they allow pets, parties, electrical, etc.

4. Always sign the guest register. In some areas this is mandated by
   club charters, leasing agreements, etc.

5. Always have a current membership card from your club, and be
    prepared to show it courteously to staff and members of the club you
    are visiting upon request.

6. Wear a name tag from your club.

7. Ask for a copy, or location, of club rules and observe them, as the
   members of the club must; you are their guest.

   directions come from the club Officers and are not of their making.

9. When planning cruise-type visits make arrangements early in the
    year with the appropriate officials.

     damage to vessels and crew.

14. Always follow good environmental practice consistent with the
     concerns for proper trash disposal and discharges from your vessel
     into the water; leave a clean wake.

15. Write a thank-you note and mention any members or employees
      who were particularly helpful.

16. If you have been invited to participate in a regatta or race, you and
      your crew are guests just as much as on any other visit to the Host
     Club and must conduct yourself as a guest.
