Sea Survival

Spent the morning in the classroom brushing up on safety procedures and kit, and this afternoon in the swimming pool, fully dressed and in lifejackets learning how to deploy a liferaft and board it from the water (undignified!), and how to right it if it's capsized. Huge fun :)

Heavy weather sailing techniques tomorrow.

Yikes! Righting a capsized raft must be serious labor. Hope you are getting all the good tips!
