Canadian Yachting June 2018 - 52
BROKERAGE
John noted that radio distress calls will not be as "close to target" even during the day. The strobe is visible in daylight as well,
although obviously, it shows up best in the dark.
John notes that after the real energy blast of a flare has
burned, there's nothing left to draw attention versus the electronic strobe that will keep flashing for days. The electronic versions also avoid accidental discharge in a moment of panic that
could make an emergency even worse.
John anticipates that electronic strobe distress flares will
eventually be approved in Canada, but probably as a supplement to pyrotechnic distress flares.
Ted believes the strobe types are a great supplement, but he
points out that the critical issue in a real emergency is when to
call for help. He talked about the "accidental accident." In other
words, when something simple like a dead battery or running
out of fuel later turns into a stormy night on the lake. Here are
some key tips:
* Always carry the required safety equipment in every
size of boat
* Wear your lifejacket
* Leave a float plan - let people know when you have not
returned as expected
* As soon as a problem hits, call for help. Get help in daylight
* Call home, call your marina, but call...don't wait for someone to happen past
* When it starts to get dark, make the call to Search and
Rescue - don't delay
* Dial 911 on your cell phone to get the police
* Or, dial*16 on your cell phone to be connected directly to
the Canadian Coast Guard
* If you don't see help nearby, and you can't fix the problem,
and you don't have a cell phone or a VHF radio, deploy a
flare
* Have the required flares onboard (and why not get an electronic strobe?)
* Smoke flares are useful in daylight
* Use a multi-star flare or a parachute flare for prolonged
exposure and have more than one flare
* The first one captures somebody's attention, but it's the second one that they notice and are able to focus on
Finally, if you have expired flares, keep them onboard as
spares. Having more than just three flares can be really valuable. After you buy fresh flares (and an electronic strobe) visit
the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons' website to learn
about the flare disposal program so you can properly recycle
your old flares.
Safe boating! *
