Essentials of Sea Survival (Paperback Book)

Each year, 140,000 water-related deaths occur worldwide. These deaths are rarely true accidents, because most maritime incidents are caused by lack of preparedness. If you frequently participate in aquatic activities, have you stopped to consider the nature of the threat confronting you? What steps can you take to improve your chances of surviving in the water or on a survival craft? Is your knowledge of the basic principles sufficient to enable you to adapt, improvise, and survive?

Reading Essentials of Sea Survival prepares you to avoid disaster, even in the worst-case scenario. The book is a compelling, informative, and comprehensive guide to open-water survival. Drawing on historical anecdotes as well as published scientific research, it examines the nature of the many threats confronting the survivor at sea and outlines, in lay terms, the methods you can use to prevent or minimize the dangers.

Authors Frank Golden and Michael Tipton are internationally recognized experts in cold-water survival. In Essentials of Sea Survival they explain the scientific reasoning behind much of the conventional teaching on open-water survival, dispel many misconceptions about how and why people die at sea, and provide up-to-date information on sustained survival in cold water. The lessons they teach are drawn from classic maritime disasters and personal accounts of near-miraculous survival, as well as carefully controlled laboratory experiments.

The first half of the book deals predominantly with the physiological and behavioral responses to cold, immersion, and drowning. The second half addresses techniques for survival and rescue, either in the water or in a lifeboat. Youll find

- detailed explanations of hypothermia, cold shock, drowning, and near drowning;
- well-researched information on the physiological responses to short- and long-term immersion and exposure;

Fiorentino’s Coastal Anchor also allows boaters to rest, ride out the storm or even sleep on their boats without worry.
Fiorentino’s Coastal Anchor is the only compact anchor built with tough flexible 8 oz. nylon fabric, strong commercial fishing lines and all stainless hardware. Rated number one by sport fishermen for with-standing numerous deployments season after season without breakage.
Includes built-in custom sized canopy weights and a patented stainless steel Para-Ring® that prevents chafe and canopy tumbling during heavy weather.
