Imagine if the unthinkable happens and you have to ABANDON SHIP? What happens once you are in the liferaft? And how can you do everything to ensure a successful rescue?
This search and rescue pilot, with 25 years experience in the RAF now working out of Australia, explains his tried and tested tactics for liferaft survival and what you should do for a successful rescue.
🆘 WE LAUNCHED OUR LIFERAFT:
🆘 HOW TO CHOOSE A LIFERAFT:
There are four basic requirements for survival, in this order:
– Protection
– Location
– Water
– Food
But there’s a lot more to it than that, so here’s the full chat, we hope you find it useful.
Thanks very much to Kevin for being such a sport and giving up his time.
And thanks to all our FTB Mates for your continued support. ❤️
Peace and fair winds,

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
