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.

🎭 MORE DRAMA HERE! https://youtu.be/hcmv4li_W9E I've gotten lots of comments telling me my voice over is terrible, it's overly dramatic, we made awful decisions and this stuff didn't really happen when we rescued this boat from the Domincan Republic. Well, it did. And this video is dedicated to all the haters to show that I do truly appreciate you. And read your comments. And feel them. I love you. Never change. Also, this isn't my boat. I wasn't the captain. And this was my first ever trip like this. I was just crew along for the ride and was trying to help out the owner wrenching on the boat instead of going on what I thought was going to be a pleasure sail. https://youtube.com/shorts/7ZI4xcqgLIQ #sailing #travel #bahamas

@boatfools #sailing #oldwoodenboat #oldsailboat It's sad to see an old sailboat like this but I can imagine what she looked like in her glory days!
