Boat Basics | Maydays and Liferafts | Ep. 146
In this fifth and final installment in our series on boating safety, we address the scenario of abandoning ship. We talk not only about issuing a mayday call and life rafts, but making sure you have enough safety gear in your ditch bag, use of the VHF radio, and the importance of an EPIRB. No one likes to dwell on the realities of leaving the comfort and security of your boat, but by preparing for the worst, you can feel more comfortable for the better times.
Be sure to also check out the other videos in our boating safety playlist, including topics such as safe boat design, lifejackets, bilge pumps, seacocks, and life rafts.
Also, be sure to check out our other boating how to videos on our channel. We cover a wide range of topics, such as varnishing, solar power, and navigation electronics. We also post regularly on our sailing adventures onboard our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 ‘Sea Rose’.
Lastly, check out our blog site - www.lifefourpointzero.com. We periodically post written stories and pictures of our sailing adventures on our blog.
