Lady, Lady!


 


The last thing you’re gonna wanna do is leave your boat but if you’re definitely sinking or on fire, make sure you’ve got your life raft  handy. Ideally act is get directly into the life raft from the sinking vessel 1. Today I don’t have that option, and I’m gonna have to swim for it. The last thing I do before I jump ship is to inflate 2 my life preserver.


 


Make sure you always control your line and your clear life raft, so you don’t lose the life raft itself. It'll make a little easier to climb in, well, if I deflate my life preserver.


 


You look around inside your life raft more than likely you’ll find a life ring. Throw it out to fellow survivors 3 if there are any. Or if someone is in danger, the same idea, put it on your arm, jump out, swim out and grab them and get them safely back to the life raft, too.


 


It may seem colder at first because of the wind. But being inside your life raft, it’s actually much warmer, much safer and better than being in the water. All in all, your life raft is an amazing piece of equipment. You hold up much better than this storm, violent seas in your body will and protect you against sea element. So don’t lose it. But if this is all you have well then it’s much better than being in the water.


 


But if your dinghy is upside down, you’re going to need to put it over. Not easy if you don’t know how.


 


Lift my foot into the life line on the bottom of the life raft now, grab the rope, stand up in the strip keep your feet and pull it. Once you’re on top, grab the line, go to a good drip wanna make sure the wind is into your face.


 


You've got to use the wind to help flip 4 it or you haven’t got a chance. For this, on your feet, stand as far on this edge as you can, lean over and pull. Make sure you have no sharp objects on or around your chest. You need to, you can flash some water on and help slipping a little easier. Point your body out on the surface, kicking all your way into the raft.


 


Stay as warm as possible is now crucial. If your body gets too cold, the blood supply to your arms and legs will slow down, and your heart will have to beat quicker to keep you warm. If your body temperature drops too low, your heart will eventually stop beating.


 


Wanna stay out of the wind to crawl into the back corner? Step down, crawl up into the fetal position, and just try to stay warm from now.


 


Grab anything that flows by.


 


Seaweed is an excellent natural resource, make a bed out of it basically, this is gonna insulate you from the cold sea below, which is snapping the energy out of you. Right now, you need all the energy you can get. Keep yourself warm like this, if you’ve got enough of it, you can also pull it over your top. This can help insulate you from all the wind, cold rain. And now try to get cozy 5. Lay down, stay warm and relax.


 


If you have a few survivors in the dinghy with you, you need to set up a watch system. So that you can get some sleep. Someone else can watch for the rest of you. When you’re firing a flare 6, it’s critical to remember not to fire it in or over your life raft.


 


Flares 7 drop red-hot debris 8 that could burn to the raft or you. In daylight, even without a flare, you can attract attention if you have anything with a shiny surface.


 


Doesn’t require batteries, could be seen through over a hundred miles you can signal rescue in any direction. Anything that shining has potential. Make a V with my fingers, keep the ship or the plane in the bottom of the V, just move that flash, up and down in my fingers, just like this.


 


Some light twigs 9 last in the middle a web of fishing line to support a piece of light foil and you’ve made your own signaling device. Even if no one sees it, it could help you imagine that you’re going to survive. Because doing anything is better than sitting around, waiting to die.
