| Comments: | The captain becomes incapacitated or falls overboard. You are Suddenly in Command. This boating safety primer is designed for those not generally at the helm, and will help you to be prepared with the basics in case of an emergency. Literature contains many horror stories about a passenger who does not know how to start the engine or operate the radio, watching in horror as a strong wind blows the boat away faster than a captain who has fallen overboard can swim. Misfortune occurs in seconds, and you have the rest of your life to be grateful that you knew what to do because you were prepared. You will learn about your vessel, and we’ll discuss causes of boating mishaps, steps to minimize your risks, anticipating and handling emergencies (weather, fires, medical, man overboard, and dehydration, among others), how to get help, and essential equipment to carry on board. Knowledge you will gain could potentially make the difference between life and death. |
