Safety tips while sleeping aboard
2.Install radar devices: Remember that you are not the only one on water. Install a radar device that will detect incoming traffic and will alert you. Most devices will allow you to set the perimeter boundary, meaning if any boat or yacht approaches the set perimeter, the alarm will be triggered alerting you. To be on the safer side, you might want to set a larger perimeter. After all, it might take you a few minutes to respond after you wake up. 3.Install a GPS: You can also install a global positioning system (GPS) that will alert you if your boat moves beyond a set perimeter. This will keep your boat from drifting off as you drift off to sleep. 4.Check devices periodically:While it’s great to install these safety devices, it is equally important to ensure that these devices function properly. Test these devices before you hit the water. Check the batteries, make sure they are charged and carry a couple of spare batteries, if need be. 5.Be alert always:Sometimes, the safety devices may trigger false alarms, especially the GPS, owing to tidal movement. But, our advice is to respond cautiously to every alarm that’s triggered when you’re on board. 6.Invest in safety equipment:Have other safety equipment such as the life jacket, whistle, emergency horn, water tight flashlights etc handy. With all these in place, you are now well equipped to enjoy a dreamy night on your boat, under the stars, with the cool nocturnal breeze soothing you and the light waves rocking you to sleep…good night!
