Cold Water Paddling Considerations<https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/boater-info/Pages/Preparation.aspx>

It's that time of year again, the days are growing shorter, and colder. By this time of the year many paddlers have tucked their boats cozily away for the winter......but not everyone.

For the intrepid few willing to brave the elements boating opportunities abound in the colder months. Many streams and rivers without enough water for boating in the summer swell during the colder parts of the year to reveal new adventures, challenges, and some very serious risks. Cold-season boating can be extremely thrilling but is also far more dangerous than the warmer months of summer, it requires special training, equipment, and planning to be safely enjoyed. Cold temperatures, inclement weather, high water flows, hazardous debris, and little available help in the event of an emergency all matter when cold water boating. But, even with the dangers, if taken seriously and done properly it can be a very fun and rewarding activity.

What's Required if a Vessel is Documented by the Coast Guard?<https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/title-registration/Pages/OR-Numbers.aspx>

If you've ever strolled down the docks at a marina, you've probably noticed some of the larger boats over 25 feet and 5 net tons have a different number on them. These are Coast Guard "documented vessels." Pleasure vessels that navigate to ports outside the United States must be documented.

Oregon is one of 37 other states requiring documented vessels moored in state waters (for more than 60 consecutive days) to register the vessel with the Marine Board. The vessel owner will need to provide a copy of the Certificate of Documentation along with the registration application<https://www.oregon.gov/osmb/forms-library/Documents/Title%20Registration/ApplicationforTitleFillable.pdf>. The Marine Board will issue two-year registration decals with the Coast Guard's Documentation number on them to the boat owner. The state decals need to be placed on the port and starboard sides of the vessel at the stern. Owners must follow Coast Guard requirements for displaying their documentation number.
