4.2.6 Bad weather navigation
Should you be boating in the sea or in large lakes when bad weather
strikes, the following guidelines should be observed:
a) Reduce the boat speed - not too much since this would mean loosing
control.
b) Do not panic. Be careful but determined.
c) Seek shelter in a harbour or in a “protected” area.
d) Do not navigate close to the shore. There the sea is rippling and, in
case of engine failure you could hit against a rock or shoreline.
e) Face the waves ¾ bow. Follow the route in a zigzag way.
f) Always avoid stern waves when the sea is rough - that is avoiding
the navigation in the same direction of the waves.
