Avoiding Bad weather! How do we sail in the southern Indian Ocean? Sailing Vessel Delos
Check out how we use www.predictwind.com to prepare for the unexpected weather conditions of the Southern Indian Ocean! How do we check weather at sea and stay safe? Have a look at the decisions we have to make during our passage from Cape Town to La Reunion.. Lekker ma bru!
Before crossing the Indian Ocean the crew sat down to figure out a route and game plan. We needed to get from Asia to Africa, avoiding the worst of the weather and making the most of the monsoon season and trade winds. So, we sat down with two very old school technologies.
Our worst nightmare! What happens if we get a fire onboard or our hull is breached by crashing into something at sea? We take a few minutes to explain to our new crew how to react and the important things to do to save Delos!
Our worst nightmare! We discuss with our new crew the steps to take should we be forced to abandon Delos. We talk about our ditch list, mayday calls, our liferaft, and the things we’d grab with us before abandoning ship.
Before setting sail to cross the Indian Ocean we perform a LIVE man overboard drill with The Braidster as our subject. He accidentally falls off with a survival kit while checking the fishing lines.
