appropriate use of flares
Posted 2022, Jun 29 03:38
Something that should be added to this section...flares are only effective if there is someone nearby to see them, and that understands the flare significance, and that has the means to effect a rescue. Need to emphasize that flares aren't magic rescue buttons.

Video Link

A lot of the links to videos on that site do not work. So here is the page that has all of their videos. But, the Life Raft video is not where it should be. https://www.uksailmakers.com/how-to-resources/learn-to-sail-and-safety-at-sea-videos/

dehydration and urine
Posted 2024, Apr 06 04:59
Urine colour is normally a good indication of hydration level. Very light colouring is a good sign you are properly hydrated, while deep yellow is bad. Drink water and watch the colour of your urine. it should be noted that chronic dehydration is one of the root causes of dementia.
