Our worst nightmare happened and we weren’t as prepared as we thought.
Between the two of us, we’ve been sailing for a long time. We know the theory. We know where every piece of distress equipment on this boat is. We don’t skimp on insurance policies. But when an emergency actually happened, none of that seemed to matter.
What we had was a pounding heart, a serious injury, and one very simple question: What do we do first? So we built something for that moment. It’s called Overboard, it’s a free app, and it’s available for anyone who wants it.
It’s still difficult to talk about what happened, but we share another piece of our story in our latest YouTube video and show you how our new system works. We’ve also posted the details and download link on our blog.
Add it to your home screen on all of your devices so it’s there when you need it, but we hope you never do. ❤️🩹
