Preparing For A Boating Trip
Whenever someone goes out on a walk, hike, camp out, or picnic, there are always supplies that require to be brought. The same rules apply with boating, whether you are only staying on the ocean for a day, or if you are staying there for weeks. There are a few essentials that you should remember to bring with you, and if you have them on the boat, they can protect you in a dangerous situation. If you are just out for a day trip, several items on the list still apply because they will supply the most comfort for your day on the water.
The most critical element to human survival is water. Our Bodies are 55% to 78% H2O, and you can last anywhere from 1 to three weeks on water alone. So obviously, the most crucial item to carry on any boat trip is H2O, and a lot of it. The salt in the ocean spray can dehydrate your skin, and the sun’s light beating down on you do the same. By staying well hydrated, one can prevent dehydration, heat exhaustion, and in the case of an emergency, dying. Also carry enough food for the number of days you plan on being out, and add one day. This will give you an extra meal if all goes as planned, or an opportunity to save nourishment in emergencies.
The sun’s rays come down upon our planet 24/7. When we receive our 12-14 hours of hot sun, it is not hard to get burnt if you do not bring the correct protection. Out on the water, the sun’s rays are made brighter, and may hit you at different angles providing a bad burn. Always make sure to bring a cap, sun block, and sunglasses to reduce your likelihood of getting sun burnt, and guard your eyes from harmful rays. Also put in protection from nature is a light to heavy waterproof jacket. You may get stuck in a storm and there’s not much worse than getting stuck in a storm on a boat while you’re not ready for it.
The final couple things are the items that can really save your life if the situation calls for it. Life vests are tested life savers in worst case scenarios, because they can keep you afloat if your boat capsizes. A compass can tell you in what bearing you are headed. Used with a map and high quality binoculars like Nikon Marine binoculars, you are basically all set for navigation. Marine air-horns and small reflective surfaces can be utilized to signal to other vessel or helicopter and planes, and a pocket knife can be very useful in many situations.
The article isn't too long, but each of these things is really critical in its own way. Sun protection can slow dehydration along with give you comfort. Water and food will provide you with the crucial nourishment that you require to live. Last but not least, signaling tools and safety precautions are always a good idea. Some of these things may even save your life if you find yourself in an emergency, so when boating, always go prepared.
