Would you know what to do in a boat emergency? 🚨
➡️ Imagine this: perfect day, music on, drinks flowing… and suddenly something goes wrong. Here’s what to do 👇
🔥 Fire on board
→ Shut off the fuel supply
→ Aim the extinguisher at the base of the flames, not the top
→ Alert passengers and be ready to abandon ship if it spreads
🛟 Man overboard
→ Yell “MAN OVERBOARD!” loud and clear
→ Throw a flotation device and never take your eyes off them
→ Approach slowly from downwind and bring them aboard with a ladder or life sling
⛈️ Sudden storm
→ Reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45° angle
→ Everyone in life jackets
→ Stay on course and let the storm pass
🆘 Serious injury
→ Call for help on VHF Channel 16
→ Give first aid and keep the person stable
→ Head to the nearest marina if needed
