If you have a VHF radio on board your boat -- and you should at least have a handheld VHF -- it's important to make sure your DSC is activated in case of an emergency aboard. It could save your life! We explain what this is, why it's important, how to get an MMSI number, and how to program it in. Bonus: BoatUS Members can register an MMSI number for free at https://www.BoatUS.com/MMSI! 🚩Enjoy this video?

Ero così preso dal filmare questo piccolo pesce palla (Torquigener flavimaculosus) che ci è venuto a trovare dal mar Rosso fin nelle acque del Mediterraneo che non mi sono accorto della tartaruga di mare che nuotava sullo sfondo! #pescepalla #lessepsianmigrant #pescilessepsiani #mare #carettacaretta #tartarugadimare #Torquigenerflavimaculosus
