Life Raft Deployment, Safety, and Use

Have you ever actually deployed a life raft and seen what’s inside or lack of what’s inside?!? Does your significant other know how to use a signal flare? And what can you do to keep sane while floating out at sea? Join Ryan and Nicole and find out… Two Afloat style. ;)

NOTE: In the video we mention the STCW-95 course but we forgot to mention the US Sailing Safety At Sea class, another excellent option if you're preparing to head offshore. https://www.ussailing.org/education/adult/safety-at-sea-courses/
