Would you know what to do if a whale rammed your boat? If there was an engine fire? If you had to abandon ship? Learn how to deal with all kinds of boating emergencies:
- Wind and Waves - fires, storms, currents, winds, and other weather hazards
- Animal Encounters - shark attacks, breaching whales, distress calls, abandoning ship, air rescue, and more
- Avoiding the Rocks - underwater terrain, shoal waters, collisions, narrow passages, fog, and towing
- Power and Safety - powerboat prep, safety gear, sailboat prep, restoring power, steering failure, and repairs
Would you know what to do if your boat sank and you and your family were stranded at sea for days on a small dinghy? Or if a shark thought your boat looked like lunch and took a bite out of the hull? What if you ran ashore on rocky shoals?
Boating Lessons You'll Never Forget gives first person accounts of these and other harrowing ocean experiences so that you'll know what to do in a similar situation. From animal encounters to capsizing watercrafts, this book tells the true life stories of nautical mishaps and how the survivors applied essential boating knowledge to be able to walk away.
This collection of fascinating stories will have you on the edge of your seat while providing essential life-saving tips! Keep it nearby on your next boating excursion for information on zones of approach, using whistles, horns, and flares, understanding fog signals, firefighting galley flare-ups, dealing with currents, avoiding rocks, and more.
Stories include accidents caused by sudden winds and catastrophic waves, running ashore, a killer whale attack, flipped kayaks, and more unimaginable misfortune. In each instance, you'll learn what to do when the worst happens. There's also a section on what emergency equipment to pack on your boat.
