Falling off ships

[Haoie]

Does the light on the lifejacket/lifesaver automatically activate upon hitting water?

 

Then throwing one over is meant to act as a waypoint?

I am pretty sure that it does - I am trying to remember the details from the lifeboat drill.:)

Yes the light on the lifejacket is activated by water.

We were once tendered ashore in the pouring rain and the lights on the lfejackets under the seats were coming on with the moisture..

Yes, we had a similar situation, they are similar to the Aeroplane jackets as they are fitted with a light and whistle except they do not need inflating.:D

Oh, yes, I wasn't sure what you meant thought it was 'both' rather than 'not'.:D

No worries, :D

Good luck.:p

You don't need luck when you are as good as me, ;) and instead of doing preparation, you reasearch your next Cruise.:eek::cool:

The big RING type things you see affixed to the ships rails are a lot more sophisticated than the life jacket you wear and the epirb will really help relocation. This is what I was talking about throwing over board.

Yes, great if up on the deck but if you are in the cabin a life jacket is handier.:D

Always good to do more research.:D

It couldn't be since illicit is an adjective, not a verb. :confused:

Correct, perhaps impelling is better.:D
