NWSA’s International Safety at Sea fosters offshore equity

For the first time NWSA organized a US Sailing sanctioned International Safety at Sea program. It was a new and challenging undertaking, even with a small group.

HOT TIP

Check your flares this month. Assure they are not expired. While you are at it, add a leather glove to your stash. A SOLAS flare (as shown) does not drop molten slag as it burns, but it is super hot. Designed to show location and allow homing with one-minute burn and 15,000 candela, did I say it is hot?
If you find yourself holding any flare, you will be glad to have a glove protecting you. It will make it more likely you will be willing to hold the flare for it’s entire burn.
