Survival – Personal Edition

Well, hurricane season has washed ashore. This can be a dangerous time for those in a hurricane’s path. It’s also dangerous if you’re still sailing at sea. Let’s go over the way to sail yourself safely through such a situation.

• Slow the fuck down. You aren’t going to outrace the hurricane anyways.
• Double check your location relative to the storm. Check the wind direction, your speed, and the estimated time to your destination. If needed, adjust your course to the nearest shoreline.
• Radio into the Coast Guard and nearby boats with your location and float plan.
• Make sure yourself and all your passengers are wearing their life jackets.
• Assign duties to your passengers. Storm waters are quite hectic. Make sure to have them look out for debris, other boats, and any danger area. Have one dedicated to turning on all the bilge pumps aboard.
• Batten down the hatches! And the ports. And the windows.
• Move all loose items below deck. Anything that can’t be moved should be securely tied down.
• Change to storm sails immediately. You can also lower your sails so the wind doesn’t destroy them.
• Have the life boat prepared with emergency food, water, and first aid kit.
• Turn off all electrical equipment and circuit breakers. Disconnect all antennas as well. Advise all passengers to avoid metal objects.
• Direct the bow of the ship into the wind. Also approach all waves at a 45º angle.
• Keep all passengers near the center of the boat and below deck. Rig jack lines, life lines, and safety harnesses for anyone on the deck.

And that’s all there is to it. Get on shore and head to safety as quickly as possible.
