Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?

This manual transmission vehicle was parked in neutral, without the parking brake set. It then proceeds to perfectly back out of its spot, missing the curb, and another vehicle on the way! It ends safely in a parking spot all on its own, on the other side of the parking lot! Throwback to 2018! #nearmiss #closecall #closecalls #auto #shorts #fail #failoftheday #failoftheweek #carfails
