Mike Fox Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Another angling tragedy reported today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgo...est/7066074.stm 19 foot boat and apparently 5 anglers. Three survivors located after 2 hours were wearing floatation suits, and two are seriously ill with hypothermia. Sympathies to victims and families, but let's all try to learn from such incidents. Simple suggestions from the RNLI include: - Wear a lifejacket - Check your engine and fuel - Tell others where you're going - Carry some means of calling for help - Keep an eye on weather and tides Think about what else you can do to improve the odds in your favour! Also, our club buddy boat system works. Use it! Mike Safety Officer Edited October 28, 2007 by Mike Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
