A disabled sailor has fallen out of their boat! What do we do?
The San Francisco Fire Department will conduct a water rescue drill for a Sailor Overboard on September 7th at 10:00. We’ll be meeting at Pier 40. The drill will also cover what to do after calling 911 and while waiting for help to arrive.
After the rescue, there will be a lively Q & A session discussing how to take care of the sailor once they are back on board. Note that BAADS will provide a ‘volunteer’ who will go into the water for the drill 😉
Most of us will watch the drill from the pier, but for those of us who want to observe the rescue up close and personal we plan to have a keelboat available. Lunch will be provided after the drill, followed by a cleanup and maintenance session for the BAADS fleet.
We hope to see you there!
